Compared results from a survey of employment of Master's‐level psychologists in the states of Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky to two previous studies recently published. It was found that results in all three studies are comparable; 87.6% of those mental health centers, state hospitals and other mental health organizations surveyed reported that they employ Master's‐level psychologists. Duties of subdoctoral psychologists include testing, therapy, and community consultation. The finding that future Master's‐level psychologists may find greater employment potential in towns with a population of less than 50,000 justifies future research in the area of Master's‐level employment to consider demographic variables.
