Update of graduate and sibling mortality status variables: LIV92, DEATC92, DEATMN, DEATYR, DEATST, XDEATST. Anytime we learn of a respondent or sibling's death, this information is added to these variables and will become available with the next release. (See below for number of cases changed.)

Due to an error found in the original assignment of SEI scores to occupations (for miscellaneous and not specified laborers), an extensive check was made of all SEI/Prestige/OccEd/OccInc scores used in the WLS data. Several *VERY MINOR* changes have been made, and are documented in COR713. These changes are very slight, and will in all likelihood *NOT* affect any substantive findings using the old scores. (See below for number of cases changed.)
Updates have been made to correct additional minor errors in data and documentation. (See below for number of cases changed.)
NOTE: The FEMJOBS module has not been updated with the 1990 occupation codes and does not reflect corrections of errors located during the 9/00 update.

According to Change Notice #18 and COR612 some of the 1970 census occupation and industry codes were incorrect which affected several variables including OCSH57U. Most affected variables were updated, however BMFOC1U, BMFOC2U, and BMFOC3U were inadvertently not updated during this change. COR 725 details how these best measure variables were updated. The updated variables will still be called BMFOC1U-BMFOC3U and the old variables by this name will not be archived.

The updated variables can be found in the following locations:

2228-2230  BMFOC1U
2231-2233  BMFOC2U
2234-2236  BMFOC3U

The best measure variables were updated using the same programming
logic found in COR612 except that the new best measure variables draw
from OCSH57U2 instead of OCSH57U (see COR612 or Change Notice #18 for
the difference between these two variables).

There were 41 cases with different values on OCSH57U and OCSH57U2,
however cases were different only in how they are coded as missing
(ie 997 vs 998).  These three cases did not have different values
on previous and updated BMFOC1U-BMFOC3U variables because they are
consistently coded as missing.

Comparing the previous and updated BMFOC1U variable we find that
38 cases are different-as we would expect given the differences in
OCSH57U and OCHS57U2.

When we compare the previous and updated BMFOC2U variables we find that
7 cases are different---these changes all correspond to situations when
OCSF57 (tax data) are missing and the OCSH57U2 variable is different than
the OCSH57U variable.

As with BMFOC1U, there were 38 cases that received an updated BMFOC3U.

New release of WLSGV Extract Program includes all new variables.
Additions to Appendix P on coding of occupations.

COR713 contains descriptions of various errors found in 1970-basis
mappings of Duncan SEI, Siegel Prestige, MSEI2, TSEI2, Occupational Education
Scores,  and Occupational Income Scores.  Included as an attachment to this COR
is the CODE used to make ALL 1970-basis mappings, including those listed above,
and also the Major Occupation and Major Industry groups.  Original sources of
scores above are included as attachments to this COR.  MEMO133 provides a
complete history of all 1970-basis mappings used in the WLS.

Construction of the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Dataset that Links to the WLS

This dataset contains information regarding school staffing and spending for the school districts attended by most respondents in the WLS. Every year, officials from Wisconsin public school districts are required to supply information regarding staffing, spending and receipts to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (WDPI). These data are stored on microfiche in the archives of Wisconsin State Historical Society. It is all publically available.

In 1998, Craig Olson and Deena Ackerman collected this information from the state archives and created a dataset of WDPI information for 336 of the 421 school districts in the state of Wisconsin that had students in grades nine through twelve. Data were collected for 1954-1957, the four years that the WLS respondents were in high school. Districts were excluded from the dataset based on the following criteria:

a) District had fewer than five students in the full WLS.

b) District did not provide reliable information over any of the 4 years of the survey. Many of these districts were in the process of merging with other districts. Twelve districts were excluded for this reason.

The first restriction was imposed due to the costs of data extraction.

For more information about this variable and this data module, see COR 713 which is available in the Appendices for the 9/00 release of the WLS(1957-77).

Detailed 9/00 CHANGES TO THE WAVE 2 DATA (1992-1993) - GRADUATES:

The EIGHTH edition of the 1992-1993 WLS differs from previous releases in the following ways:

Due to an error found in the original assignment of SEI scores to occupations (for miscellaneous and not specified laborers), an extensive check was made of all SEI/Prestige/OccEd/OccInc scores used in the WLS data. Several *VERY MINOR* changes have been made, and are documented in COR713. These changes are very slight, and will in all likelihood *NOT* affect any substantive findings using the old scores. (See below for number of cases changed.)
Updates have been made to correct additional minor errors in data and documentation. (See below for number of cases changed.)
