graph bar wage hours tenure, over(collgrad)
Consider this graph, where we look at
wage
,
hours
,and
tenure
broken down
by the levels of
collgrad
. The legend
identifies the bars for us. In addition to
the legend, Stata offers us other ways
we can label these bars, as we shall see
in the upcoming examples.

blabel(name)
We can add the
blabel(name)
(bar
label) option, and it places labels on
each of the bars with the name of
y
mean of hours
mean of hours
-variables. Here, each of these labels is
preceded with “mean of” since each bar
represents the mean of
-variable.
