This user's manual provides information for using the "High School and Beyond" (HSB) longitudinal study data file for local labor markets for HSB schools. An overview of the national study is given. Information in the HSB database comes primarily from questionnaires completed by students, school administrators, teachers, and parents of students. The local labor market indicators for the HSB schools data file consists of five related data files and contains 1,015 records, in SAS (SPSS) format. The file is available on tape. Section 2 describes school geography used in preparing the data. Section 3 summarizes the data file construction procedure. Section 4 explains organization and content and provides a guide to the code book, which is presented in section 5. Appendices list other HSB files and the record layout of the local economic indicators file. The HSB program makes it possible to analyze changes in many educational choices made during the high school years since 1972. (SLD)
