Abstract/Summary

The purpose of this study is to identify whether educational attainment affects the salary of employed residents in Pasay City. The data used were gathered from the community-based monitoring system (CBMS) of the Phuilippines. The purpose of the study was achieved by using the correlational research design, specifically explanatory research and by using the multinomial logistic regeression limited only to two variables, which are educational attainment and salary. This study was based on Michael Spence's signalling theory. In the course of the research, the researchers were limited in terms of having access to the data given by the CBMS.

From this whole process, the researchers found out that there is a positive relationship between the two identified variables namely educational attainment and salary, the salary increases as the educational attainment of an individual increases. The group limited the scope of the study to the employed residents of Pasay City since it is the city that has the most complete data in the record of CBMS.
