17x17x2x2 tables of counts in GLIM-ready format used for the analyses in Biblarz, Timothy J., and Adrian E. Raftery. 1993. "The Effects of Family Disruption on Social Mobility." American Sociological Review (In press). For further details of the data, see this reference. Column 1 is father's occupation, coded as follows: 17. Professional, Self-Employed 16. Professional-Salaried 15. Manager 14. Salesman-Nonretail 13. Proprietor 12. Clerk 11. Salesman-Retail 10. Craftsman-Manufacturing 9. Craftsmen-Other 8. Craftsman-Construction 7. Service Worker 6. Operative-Nonmanufacturing 5. Operative-Manufacturing 4. Laborer-Manufacturing 3. Laborer-Nonmanufacturing 2. Farmer/Farm Manager 1. Farm Laborer Column 2 is son's occupation, coded in the same way as father's. Column 3 is family structure, coded 1=intact family background and 2=nonintact family background. Column 4 is race, coded 1=white and 2=black. Column 5 is counts for son's first occupation. Column 6 is counts for son's current occupation. The counts have been weighted to take account of the survey design, which is why they are not integers.
