Calculating Margins of Error for PUMS Estimates in R

Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to calculate margins of error on counts in R. So far I've had no luck. I'm hoping that there's an R package out there that will make this a bit easier, but I've not seen anything as yet.

At the moment I'm working with 5-Yr PUMS data, and have extracted "Artists" (using Occupation codes), for the Massachusetts, Greater Boston and Boston geographies. I've further broken those up by race (white artists X, Black artists Y and so on). Especially with PUMS data I expect there to be some error here, but I've not been able to figure out how to calculate it through R. If anyone had any good pointers/code to share, I'm all ears.

Thanks,

Peter
