Options selected: Include labels in program code Preview report only Create SAS program code file Description of selected variables: Unique record ID number - Unicon created Each observation is assigned a unique id number, facilitating later merges with the SAME file should the user wish to extract additional variables at a later time. This ID variable can not be used to match different files across years; instead, refer to the discussion in Appendix S. The maximum value of this variable is the total record count from each file. There is no corresponding variable to be found in the census files; therefore, no column numbers are listed here.

Comparison to counts from earlier years indicate that 80 can be interpreted as '80-84' and 85 can be interpreted as '85+'. Census confirms these interpretations.

They did not allow the revised ages to go outside those barriers; that is, no one whose age was 67 ended up with an age of less than 66, no one aged 9 ended up with an age greater than 11. _______________________________________________________________________________ Educational attainment Original location, length, and name: 04-92 P22 2 A-HGA Type: basic Topic: education Related variable: agrdatn - allocation flag Code: 04-92 Children 00 Less than 1st grade 31 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th grade 32 5th or 6th grade 33 7th or 8th grade 34 9th grade 35 10th grade 36 11th grade 37 12th grade or no diploma 38 High school graduate - High school diploma or equivalent 39 Some college but no degree 40 Associate's degree in college - occupational/vocational 41 Associate's degree in college - academic 42 Bachelor's degree (e.g., BA, BS, AB) 43 Master's degree (e.g., MA, MS, MEng, MEd, MSW, MBA) 44 Professional school degree (e.g.: MD, DDS, DVM, LLB, JD) 45 Doctorate degree (e.g., PhD, EdD) 46 In 1994 forward this is an edited variable with additional possible values of: -1 (blank) -2 (don't know) -3 (refused) -9 (no response) Note: Universe - all persons A user from PPIC who has compared education distributions over time between the CPS and the Census, has concluded that people with grdhi=13 and grdcom=2 (did not complete grade) should be coded as "with some college" when trying to match grdatn codes with earlier years. _______________________________________________________________________________ Employment status recode (a.k.a. labor force status recode) _esr Unicon recode - Employment (a.k.a. labor force) status recode Original location, length, and name: 04-95 94 93-88B 88-76 75-68 67-63 62 P145 MISSING P145 P12 P152 P48 P15 1 1 1 1 2 2 A-LFSR A-LFSR B-ESR EMP-STAT EMP-STAT EMP-STAT Type: basic Topic: labor Related variable: mlr - monthly labor recode (94+) aesr - allocation flag Code: Recode: 04-88B 88-68 67-63 62 04-62 NIU 0 0 0 Employed: Working 1 1 1 Working full time 01 00 1 Working part time 02 01 1 With job, not at work 2 2 03 02 2 Unemployed: Looking for work 3 3 04 03 3 On layoff 4 05 04 3 NILF: Starting new job 06 05 7 New job and school 07 06 7 Housekeeping 4 08 07 7 At school 5 09 08 7 Unable to work 6 10 09 7 Unpaid, <16hrs/tmp abs 11 10 7 Unpaid, <15hrs/tmp abs (<95) 5 7 Unavailable (<95) 6 7 Other (retired) (<95) 7 7 12 11 7 NILF (95+) 7 7 Armed Forces 99 0 In 1994 forward this is an edited variable with additional possible values of: -1 (blank) -2 (don't know) -3 (refused) -9 (no response) Conditional Recode: If Conditional Recode option is selected, values depend on the selected years.

The Census confirmed that they had intended to have this variable on the file but it never made it there. They do not plan to reissue the data to correct this. See mlr as an alternative.

Note: Universe - all interview records (1<=popstat<=3) In Jan 1996, the Census revised procedures for editing and allocating the race variable. All "Other" responses were allocated into one of the 4 main race categories. This was done to offset a major increase in "Other" responses which caused severe underestimates of the American Indian and Asian Pacific Islander populations. Due to this, one should use caution when making comparisons between 1995 and 1996 data, especially for those identifying all four race groups.

THE USER MUST DIVIDE VALUES BY 100 TO OBTAIN CORRECT WEIGHT. In 1963-1967, handwritten notes in the margin indicate that there are two implied decimals. Also, this variable may be negative. Some years have alternate weights (see wgtalt): 1980 wgt is based on 1970 wgtalt is based on 1980 1990 wgt is based on 1980 wgtalt is based on 1990 1993 wgt is based on 1980 wgtalt is based on 1990 2000 wgt is based on 1990 wgtalt is based on 2000 2001 wgt is based on 1990 wgtalt is based on 2000 2001S wgt is based on 2000 wgtalt is based on 1990 The 2002+ weights are 2000-based (per Census email 9/02). (Note: the 2002+ files are actually SCHIP files and are most comparable to the 2001S file). Note: Universe - all person records Apply this weight to ALL variables in 2001 forward and to supplemental variables in earlier years. Final weight (wgtfnl) may be applied to basic variables before 2001. The following may be used as weight origination guidelines: The household record gets the householder weight. The Primary Family family record gets the householder weight. The Nonfamily Householder family record gets the householder wgt. The Related subfamily record gets the subfamily head weight. The Unrelated subfamily record gets the subfamily head weight. The Secondary Individual record gets the secondary indivdual wgt.
