Abstract

We use the 2018 round of the Egypt Labor Market Panel Survey (ELMPS) to investigate the public-private job satisfaction differential in the case of Egypt. Descriptive statistics show that public sector employees report higher job satisfaction levels compared to their private sector counterparts. For instance, the mean reported overall job satisfaction is 4.57, on a scale from 1 to 5, for public sector employees compared to 3.92 for private sector workers. We find that the difference persists, even after controlling for confounding factors in our regression models. We discuss the possible explanations of this public-private job satisfaction differential.
