  • Need help for calculating the unemployment rate

    I needed some help in Stata,
    The assignment is from the CPS IPUMS dataset Sir, They have asked me to calculate the monthly unemployment rate, I have created two columns 1st total unemployed and 2nd total labor force and I have calculated the unemployment rate the only problem I am facing is I did not include the weight. I have to include weight too but i don't know how to include it. Its a cross section monthly data.

    welcome to this forum.
    Please read (and act on) the following FAQ: https://www.statalist.org/forums/help#adviceextras #4. Thanks.
    That said:
    1) as per FAQ again, whenever your query is not related to a class/home assignment, you're kindly requested to post what you typed and what Stata gave you back and, if necessary for further clarification, to share an example/excerpt of your data via -dataex-. Thanks.
    2) as far as your question is concerned, see -help weight-
    Kind regards,
    Carlo
