**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 selects the number of familes with own children under 18 who are headed by a single person **who is either male or female. 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'. IF (FKIND =1) FAMGRP=0. IF (FKIND > 1) FAMGRP=1. **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. **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. **To change the selection criteria to include HISPANICS ONLY, set hispanic = 0, for non-hispanic white set hispanic=1. **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_famrel = 0 | a_famrel = 1) & a_famtyp = 1 & fownu18 > 0 & hispanic = 1. VARIABLE LABELS FAMGRP 'Family Kind Recoded'. VARIABLE LABELS hispanic 'HISPANIC ORIGIN RECODED'.
