Abstract: This work was undertaken with the objective in mind of exploring the relationship between Age, Seniority and Level of Studies of a blue collar employee sample with the level of their satisfaction at work. The study was conducted at a Small Metal-Machining Company located at Frontera, Coahuila. The study was make it by a consensus of 33 workers, applying a structured questionnaire, using Likert Scale, which has 40 items that belonged to 10 different variables. To assure the trustworthiness of the tool the Cronbach’s Alpha proof was used. The internal coefficient of consistence achieved was 0.89. Based on a previous study carried out in the same company, the factors with the greatest incidence on employee satisfaction were identified. In this research are included 10 different variables encompassing factors such as Age, Seniority and Level of Studies of the workers under scrutiny, ultimately computing the Contingency Coefficients. The outcome of the study shows: Age as a variable is related with Polices, Perks and Communication; Seniority reports association with Communication, Relationship with Coworkers and Polices; while the Level of Studies shows relation with Supervision, Perks, Communication and the work itself.
