Closed bdecon closed 4 years ago

bdecon commented 4 years ago

At some point I edited or manually created new data dictionary files, which makes it impossible to replicate the bd CPS. Need to automate whatever steps I took manually.

Other issue is #247 where I need to replace at least two lines in the census data dictionary to include the variable name then the length of the fwf column (2) then the rest of the line. The lines are PRSJMS and PRNAGWS

The issue here is that the data dictionary that covers 1998 to the end of 2002 has a break where the data are slightly different within this period. The first codeblock in bd_CPS_dd.ipynb contains the code that splits the data dictionary in two.

So I'm closing this issue for now.
