Retired people in 2012 1-year ACS PUMS

Adriana over 9 years ago

Hi, I'm trying to identify the retired people (if possible) in the ACS2012- 1 year database. Does anyone know what variable/variables should I use identify these people? I've searched in the PUMS data dictionary, but i had no luck.
Any help on this is highly appreciated!

Thanks,
Adriana

Hi!

I do not think you can get this information from the ACS. The Medical Expenditure Panel Survey Household Component data (released by AHRQ) has a variable on ever retired. See meps.ahrq.gov/.../download_data_files_detail.jsp for recent year file. The downside of the MEPS is that you can only get regional and national data.
