Subject: zip / lma

All, the question related to linking zipcodes to labor market areas
has been approached in the following fashion. The files "zip2lma.dat"
and "zip2lma.txt" contain all the relevant information. Those files
can be found at:

        ftp ftp.ciesin.org
        login: anonymous
        cd /pub/census
        cd usa/stf/0code

Charles Tolbert has an equivalency file for 5-digit county FIPS and
Labor Market Area codes posted on:

   Gopher:  GOPHER.LAPOP.LSU.EDU
   World Wide Web:  http://www.lapop.lsu.edu

      I obtained the file, czlma903.eqv, and merged some of its fields
      with a reformatted (fixed columns) version of zipcnty.sas file.
      The result, zip2lma.dat, has 23541 records mapping zip code
      ranges to county FIPS codes and the LMA codes (1980 and 1990
      versions).
      (Military and territorial zip codes have no LMA data, but are retained
      in the file with appropriate blank fields.)

Here are the fields and a sample record:
ziplo|ziphi| fips|co. name  |90LMA|80LMA| MSA|Co.Popul.
