| This thesis will be prepared in cooperation with Trexima, a company collecting detailed data about firms and their employees. We will compare the level and field of education on employees with their job type. Based on this comparison, we will determine whether the job is a good match or whether an employee is over- or underskilled. Using the information on firm performance, we will next ask whether it is harmful for a firm to employ workers who are not exactly educated in their job field. |
