Hi Everyone,

I am presently working on a household survey data which has information about wages and some groups eg Occupation, sectors, education level, gender.

My questions are;

1. How can I transform the wages to log wages

2. I have a variable- Occupation which has the following category; How do I define, rename or categorize the variables properly before carrying out regression?

1 = Managers and administrators 2 = Professional 3 = Associate professional and technical 4 = Clerical and secretarial 5 = Craft and related 6 = Personal and protective service 7 = Sales 8 = Plant and machine operatives 9 = Other (includes not stated) ' ‘ = Not Applicable.



For example; I want occupation to take the value of 1 if workers are managers and administrators.

Thanks
