How to access data: This is
available via the network. Go to the K drive:
K:\deloach\data\. Double-click on DBank. This is a
program that will allow you to view the data, export it,
print it, make simple graphs and even do some basic
summary stats. Double-click on base.mdb, and a list of
all of the data categories will appear. Then simply
follow the directions that appear in BLUE at the bottom
of the frame, and it should be pretty easy from there.
Note: You have to "TAG" a series in order to
look at it, export it, print it, etc.

Beginning in 1979, 12,686 young men

biennially.) The survey asked a wide variety of questions
about their work experience, training, schooling, family
