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.

In 1976, the hhseq variable give more unique household values. We are reading this value into _hhid instead of the original hhid value. However, _hhid may not be used to match household to other years as hhseq is only unique within the month where it appears. In 1973-1975, it is combined with sernum to create values consistent with those in 1968-1972. In 1972, _hhid is set to the current record number whenever a head of household record is encountered (hhrel= 1 or 32). It is not possible to match this file with other years. For further information see the hhid documentation. _______________________________________________________________________________ <lineno> Line number Original location, length, and name: 03-88B 88-79 75-68 67-63 62 P9 P332 P34 P18 P91 2 2 2 2 2 A-LINENO LINENO LINE-NUM LINE-NO LINE-NO Type: basic Topic: record keeping Related variable: alineno - allocation flag Code: 03-68 67-62 Line number 0-39 0-31 Note: Universe - all persons Note to those interested in matching: This variable is transcribed by the interviewer from rotation to rotation. So this should be a unique identifier for an individual within the household. In the initial rotation (mis = 1), the value should be equal to perid. In 1976, the questionnaire went through a major revision and it was not until 1979, when the CPS began to include lineno again. _______________________________________________________________________________ <mis> Month in sample Original location, length, and name: 03 02 01s 01-88B 88-77 76 75-73 72-68 67-63 62 H29 H906 H927 H29 H17 H34 F31 F26 P31 P94 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 H-MIS Added Added H-MIS MIS MIS ROTATION Type: basic Topic: record keeping Related variable: zmis - original values for 2001S and 2002 files Code: 03-62 Group 1-8 Note: 2003-1976 Universe - all household records 1975-1963 Universe - all family records 1962 Universe - all person records Rotation groups 4 and 8 are not in the March Income sample in 1962. Variables in columns P133-P172 do not contain valid data for these two groups. (per Census docs) Comparing these values to the Feb-Mar match variable (match) it appears that the month-in-sample value for 1962 is actually the MIS value for February, not March. MIS groups 4 and 8 show up as non Feb-Mar matches. If the March MIS value were listed here, it would show MIS groups 1 and 5 as non Feb-Mar matches. Rotation groups 4 and 8 are not in the 1964-1965 files. In the 2001S and 2002 files, the original mis values were not the values used in the creation of sample weights. The Census provided patch files with the corrected mis values for these two years. _______________________________________________________________________________ <_year> Survey year - Unicon recode This is a variable that takes its value for year from the request file, not from any column location on the data files.

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 In 2002, the Census dropped the topcoding for age to 80, and perturbed (scrambled) the value of age for certain records with ages 66-80 and less than 12. 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. _______________________________________________________________________________ <wgtfnl> Final CPS weight (a.k.a., basic weight) (*100) Original location, length, and name: 03-88B 88-76 P50 P91 8 11 A-FNLWGT B-WEIGHT Type: basic Topic: record keeping Code: 03-76 NIU (supplemental Spanish sample) 0 Minimum 1 Maximum 99999999 As in all CPS data provided by the Census, the decimal point is omitted.

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.

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. CAUTION - The 'select' and 'unselect' options should be used carefully with the UNICON RECODE, as selection occurs after recoding of the variable.

All such persons (including related subfamily members) are considered as members of one family. Beginning in 1980, unrelated subfamilies (referred to in the past as secondary families) are no longer included in the count of families, nor are the members of unrelated subfamilies included in th count of family members. A family household includes unrelated people living in the household. The number of family households equals the number of families however the number of family household MEMBERS can be more than the number of family MEMBERS which includes only the householder and relatives.

These values match the values for edcom. Note this is before the values are modified by grdcom (flag that denotes whether grade/year was completed). Tabulations for 1963 indicate all missing values.
