graph bar wage, over(occ5) over(union)
asyvars
If we add the
asyvars
option, then the
first
over()
variable (
occ5
) is graphed
as if there were five
10
-variables
corresponding to the five levels of
occ5
.
The levels of
occ5
are shown as
differently colored bars pushed next to
each other and labeled using the
legend.

graph bar wage, over(occ5) over(union) asyvars
percentages
With the levels of
occ5
considered as
y
30
-variables, we can use some of the
options that apply when we have
multiple
-variables. Here, we request
that the values be plotted as
percentages
.

stack
Again, because we are treating the
levels of
occ5
as though they were
multiple
100
-variables, we can add the
stack
option to view the graph as a
stacked bar chart.
