Inap.: no Wife; not eligible for retroactive coding

This version of occupation was coded retroactively using original PSID reports and thethree-digit 1970 Census occupation codes for a selected sample of PSID Heads andWives/"Wives":

(a) Original sample Heads and Wives/"Wives still living by 1992 who reported main jobs in at least three waves during the period 1968-1992, with at least one of those reports prior to 1980.

(b) Additionally, original sample Heads and Wives/"Wives" who had reported at least one main job between 1968 and 1980 but were known to have died by 1992.

The selection criteria did not include all Heads and Wives/"Wives"who had worked between 1968 and 1980. Those who were still livingbut had reported only one or two jobs during the period of interestwere excluded, as were all nonsample Heads and Wives/"Wives". Therefore not every Head or Wife/"Wife" has data for this variable.For detailed information about the Retrospective Coding Project, please see the document, 'A Panel Study of Income Dynamics: 1968-1980 Retrospective Occupation-Industry Files Documentation', on our website.

The 3-digit industry code from 1970 Census of Population; Alphabetical Index of Industriesand Occupations issued June 1971 by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the Bureau of theCensus was used for this variable. Please refer to Appendix V2, Wave XIV documentation,for complete listings.

This question was asked only of new Heads of families in 1969 and the distributions listedreflect this fact. On recent versions of the tape information on Heads who did not changehas been transferred into this variable, so that the education of all Heads in the 1969sample is available in one place. The distribution of V794 on these tapes is thusessentially similar to that of V313.

(1968 family net real income net of cost of housing [V856]/Family food standard [V494].

Ratio of 1968 family net real income net of cost of housing to 1968 family food needstandard.

It is postulated that housing is a lumpy expenditure which is not proportional to familysize. Income remaining after this expense may be considered to be applicable to expenseswhich are more nearly proportional to family size. The family food standard does notincorporate some of the economies of scale which the family need standard does, and isthus the appropriate reference standard for this income measure. However, the foodstandard is lower than the need standard by roughly a factor of 3, so variable 858 willhave substantially greater numerical value than the other income / needs variables.

Note that V494, Annual Food Needs Standard, is in 1967 dollars.

All the above component variables refer to the entire family and are for the year 1968.

The hours of travel to work of Head and Wife not included, making this variable comparableto the corresponding variable for the previous year.

The above noncomparability also applies to the bracket of Total Family Work Hours in 1968.

NOTE that the difference in definition of the variable introduces a spurious componentinto the change variable on Total Family Work (V949).

This error does not affect the variable for those families in which there were no earnersother than Head and Wife.

Due to an error in construction, 'Hours of work for pay by others' was omitted from the1968 variable. The change variable thus has a spurious negative component.

Note that the computations of the variables in this formula make use of V31 and V494,which are in 1967 dollars.

Variables 990 through 998 are decile rankings for the 1969 sample families on various 1968economic status measures. The 1969 sample was ranked according to its value on aparticular measure in ascending order. Then, each case was assigned its decile rankaccording to which tenth of the population it fell into. The lowest decile is coded 0, thehighest 9. The end-points of the ranges of each measure which correspond to the decilerankings are listed below. Ten percent of the weighted 1969 sample families fall into each decile.

Variables 999 through 1007 are decile rankings for the 1969 sample families on 1967measures, the decile rankings formed on the 1968 sample of families. Hence there are not10.0 percent of 1969 sample families within each decile rank.

This variable was generated to simplify the clustering of multiple panel family unitsresiding in the same households. Its values were assigned simply by selecting a 1969 IDnumber (V442) with the lowest value from among the 1969 ID numbers of those familiescomprising each such household group. This value was used in these file positions for allof the related households. Thus, if the user sorts the data ordered by this variable, thefamily units within larger household groups will be adjacent to each other. Family unitswho did not share their households with any other family unit or shared only with non-panel family units were given their own values for V442.

This family unit is a Secondary that shares the householdwith at least one other family unit that is notinterviewed

Actual Census needs

This poverty threshold was taken from Census Bureau's website,http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/poverty/data/threshld/index.html We have used the tableentitled 'Income Thresholds at the Poverty Level by Sex of Head, Size of Family, andNumber of Related Children Under 18 Years Old, by Farm-Nonfarm Residence.' We used Non-Farm Residence tabulations. The threshold values are based on sex of Head, family size, the number of persons in thefamily under age 18, and the age of the householder. Due to some of the limitations of ourextant files, we were unable to generate the number of months for those individuals whomoved out of multiple families in the same wave. Otherwise the calculation of needs issimilar to that described in Section I, Part 5, of guide to the 1993 PSID data,93GUIDE.PDF.
