Hello,

I wanted to seek for someone's advice as I have run into a number of problems with my analysis and got really confused.
I am analysing the impact of 5 technology related variables on employment in 6 different job categories.
I have panel data for time 2006-2016 across 10 regions: xtset regions year

When I have a following regression:
xtreg employment_category_1 5 different tech variables degree high education no qualifications, fe
Unfortunetely, ll of my variables come out as significant.

Hence I have created a new dependent variable: total employment in year t 5 different tech variables degree high education no qualifications, fe
This technology and educational variables do vary across regions, however total employment now only varies across time...
Now more coefficients are significant

Hence my question is: can I run regression like this?

I would be very thankful for any advice
