Calculating median earnings in PUMS
Jennifer Lee
over 10 years ago
Does anyone know how to do this? I am looking at a specific subgroup, and I want to know the median earnings. I'm using WAGP (wages or salary income) and SEMP (self-employment income), but DataFerrett automatically calculates averages instead of medians, and I'm not sure how to sum these two variables to arrive at total earnings. Any help is appreciated!

Update: There is a value for earnings (PERNP), but I don't know how to find the median using DataFerrett. Thanks.
