CPS Contingent Worker Supp. - 1999 Sampling and Weighting Page
Use the following procedures for weighting the February 1999 Contingent Work Supplement file:
I. Set interview status using the following criteria:
HRINTSTA = 1 CPS basic interview
and
PEAGE = 16+ Person at least 16 years old
and
PRPERTYP = 2 Current civilian household member
II. Set the values for the supplement flag (SUPTYP) as follows:
1 = Eligible Met criteria for supplement interview
2 = Not eligible Did not meet criteria for supplement interview
III. The reweighting matrix is defined as follows:
EM: 1 = Employed (PEMLR=1, 2) and (COW=1-7)
2 = Unemployed (PEMLR=4)
3 = Unemployed (PEMLR=3) and (LAYLK=1)
4 = Disabled (PEMLR=5,6,7) and (WNTJOB=1) and (DISC=1,2)
Exceptions: If EM=3, then EM=2
AGE: 1 = <25
2 = 25 - 54
3 = 55+
Exceptions: If RACE=1 and EM=2 and AGE=3, then AGE=2
If RACE=1 and EM=4, then AGE=1
If RACE=2 and EM=4 and AGE=3, then AGE=2
SEX: 1 = Male
2 = Female
RACE: 1 = Black
2 = Nonblack
Use edited values for the demographic variables.
IV. Steps to follow:
1. Tally all eligible records (SUPTYP=1) into the matrix using the final CPS weight divided by 10,000.
Display unit and weighted tallies for each cell.
2. Tally control numbers from external file (CONTROLS.DAT) into the matrix.
Display tallies for each cell.
3. Divide the weighted values in each cell in (2) by the weighted value in the corresponding cell in (1).
Display the resulting factor (round to four places) for each cell.
4. Apply the appropriate factor (as determined by the cell definition) to the final CPS weight of each supplement eligible record (SUPTYP=1). The resulting weight (PWSUPWGT) should be rounded to four implied decimal places.
Display the unit and weighted tallies for each cell using PWSUPWGT.
