The 1992 CPS Industry Codes are given in Appendix A of the codebook.
It appears that these codes are incorrect, specifically ...
CODE     INDUSTRY
443-449  not used
460-472  Utilities and sanitary services
460      Electric light and power
461      Gas and steam supply systems
462      electric and gas, and other combinations
460-449  not used.
..  SHOULD BE 450- etc.
There are also some errors in the Glossary (page 9-5) regarding the
position of variables dealing with longest job last year.
However, the documentation I have states on the cover PRELIMINARY
VERSION.  The documentation on the CD-ROM version of the data (at least
for the industry codes) seems to be correct.
I know about the revised data (I have that) but I wonder if there is a
revised  or final version of the documentation which I did not get.
Also -- are these occupation and industry codes the same as the
1990 Census codes?
