Using data of the annual "micro-census" sample survey of the Austrian statistical office the influence of the level of education obtained on the duration of unemployment is investigated. Because of changes in the sampling methodology we use two data sets, one gathered between 2000 and 2003 and the second set collected in 2004 and 2005. Information on the personal positions in the labour market helps to identify censured observations. To estimate the effect of the level of education the proportional hazard model of Cox has been used.
