Installation

Install from github with

devtools::install_github("jjchern/cpsmar1990s")

Since there're 10 years of data, the package is kind of big (about 86 MB). It might take a while to download.

Usage

library(cpsmar1990s)
library(dplyr)

# All the datasets
ls("package:cpsmar1990s", all = TRUE)

# All variables in cpsmar1993
names(cpsmar1993)

# Select a few variables
cpsmar1993 %>% 
  select(year, statefip, age, sex, race, educ99, fullpart) 

# Each variable is a "labelled" vector (from the `haven` package)
cpsmar1994$sex %>% str
attr(cpsmar1994$sex, "label") # like Stata's label
attr(cpsmar1994$sex, "labels") # like Stata's label values
