**This program was written by Gia Elise Barboza at the Julian Samora Research Institute for
**the purpose of selecting data from the March Current Population Survey File. This program
**selects the numbers of child in the population. You must change the following line to the location where the data is located
** (i.e. the  SAV file).

GET FILE = 'C:\Notre Dame Project\CPS Variables\Zipped Files\March 2000\cps2000.SAV'.

**This is a recoded variable that is not included in the raw text file. The March
**Supplement Final Weight has two implied decimal points. The variable finwght
**reflects this fact. 
WEIGHT BY finwght.

**We recode the following variables to give us hispanic and non-hispanic groups.
IF (a_reorgn<=7) hispanic=0.
IF (a_reorgn > 7 & a_race=1) hispanic=1.

**To change the selection criteria to include HISPANICS ONLY, set hispanic = 0.
**To select state data, add the following to the selection criteria below
** (hg_st60=21 | hg_st60=59 | hg_st60=74 | hg_st60=93 | hg_st60=33).   

SELECT IF  (A_AGE >= 0 and A_AGE <= 17) and hispanic=1.

VARIABLE LABELS hispanic 'HISPANIC ORIGIN RECODED'.

VALUE LABELS hispanic 
0 'hispanic'
1 'non-hispanic white'.

**If using state data change hg_reg to hg_st60.
