(Constant)	1.6911(0.2292)	1.2408 to 2.1414	7.3800	<.001

^aThe adjusted R² of this regression is 22.76%. Employed or self-employed is a dummy variable that equals 1 if the respondent was either employed or self-employed at the time of the survey and 0 if they are either retired or unemployed.

^bThe degree of freedom (df) of this regression model is 520.
