I would like to schedule a tutorial to get started on a project using the CPS. I am interested in data on educational attainment specifically the GED.
I want to use samples from 1980 to 2005 for North Carolina, using race and age as variables.
I have all the appropriate codes. Thank you, Scott Baker
IPUMS provides a number of resources for becoming acquainted with IPUMS CPS. You may be interested in viewing the video tutorial on creating an extract in IPUMS CPS, reading this documentation on the Education Supplement sample, viewing the original Education Supplement codebooks, and viewing the list of variables associated with the Education Supplement. If the information included in these resources is inadequate, please follow up (either here or by emailing ipums@umn.edu) with a specific question so we can share additional information to help you utilize IPUMS CPS data.
