Dear Amit Lazarus,

I am Kuochih Huang, also an user of IPUMS CPS dataset. I have the same queation as you raised in Jan 28. I also find that many replacement values for incwage are much lower than the coded ones. Have you find the answer and solve this problem now? I will appreciate it very much if you can share the information with me. Thanks!

Best,

Kuochih
