pef: Silicon Valley programmers and engineers data

In matloff/polyreg: Polynomial Regression

Silicon Valley programmers and engineers data

Description

This data set is adapted from the 2000 Census (5% sample, person records). It is mainly restricted to programmers and engineers in the Silicon Valley area. (Apparently due to errors, there are some from other ZIP codes.)

Has columns for age, education, occupation, gender, wage income and weeks worked. The education column has been collapsed to Master's degree, PhD and other.

The variable codes, e.g. occupational codes, are available from https://usa.ipums.org/usa/volii/occ2000.shtml. (Short code lists are given in the record layout, but longer ones are in the appendix Code Lists.)
