Summary
The program CPSTAB was written to cross tabulate the Current Population Survey (CPS) tapes according to the user's specifications. It was written to be easy for the user to run and at the same time to be general enough to be able to produce any tabulation desired for any CPS input tape. Because certain tabulations seem to be of great interest to many people, these tabulations are already defined in the program. To be able to obtain one of these tabulations, the user need only specify its name. The user may also specify through data cards, any other tabulation that he might be interested in--whether a slight modification of a predefined table, or an entirely different tabulation. Each tabulation that is calculated has at least two dimensions--region and ethnic group. By definition, there are four ethnic groups--total, white, black, and other. There are about 25 regions--the exact number depends on the year of the CPS input tape and on how the user wants to group these regions. The user can ask CPSTAB to keep each region unique and then the number of regions would be the number of regions on the CPS input tape plus one as a United States total is also calculated. However, if the user wants to compare CPS tabulations for different years, it is best to have the regions be the same. In order to obtain this, it is sometimes necessary to combine two CPS regions into one.
