To make cross-time comparisons using the March CPS data more feasible, variables in IPUMS-CPS are coded identically or harmonized across time. This harmonized dataset is also compatible with the data from the U.S. decennial censuses that are part of the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS-USA).
