Unfortunately, the Census Bureau does not release the information about the CPS stratification method that is needed to use these procedures. Statistical packages (such as Stata) sometimes have procedures that take the survey design into account in order to produce more accurate estimates of standard errors.

Both of these variables are converted to the most recent dollars using the CPI-U-RS.Р”Р‡or a full discussion of wage variables, see the 2003 paper by John Schmitt, Creating a Consistent Hourly Wage Series from the Current Population SurveyРІР‚в„ўs Outgoing Rotation Group, 1979-2002. The CEPR preferred wage variable is rw_ot when an analysis uses only data from 1994 to the present and rw when an analysis includes data before and after 1994.

Our Stata code show the changes we made to the original raw CPS variables in order to create our extract. For the CPS from 1994-on, the programs can be found here. Our Stata programs are the major source for information on our extracts. How do I calculate the standard errors in the CPS ORG?.Why do the variable names not match the CPS documentation from the Census?.
