Compare Each Cell

The p-values for pairwise likelihood ratio chi-square, Pearson chi-square, and Fisher’s exact tests for independence are provided in tables. The tables are labeled by comparison letters. The comparison letters are shown in the crosstab table to the right of the group labels. Response rates that differ between groups are indicated with a comparison letter in the crosstab table cells.

Employees with fewer than 5 years of tenure are somewhat satisfied at a greater rate than those with 20 years of tenure. This finding is noted by the letter d in the Somewhat satisfied cell in the first row of the Crosstab table. In addition, the employees with fewer than 5 years of tenure are Extremely satisfied at a lower rate than the group with 20 years of tenure. This finding is noted by the letter a in the Extremely satisfied cell of the last row of the crosstab table. The letters are placed in the cell with the highest share of responses.
