Hi,

reshape long w_job, i(ID) j(jobnum)
gsort id -w_job
by id: gen Number_job=jobnum[1]
reshape wide w_job, i(ID) j(jobnum)

Hope this helps,
Kelvin.

Hi, All,

I have a dataset. Each individual can at most have 4 jobs (job1-job4). For
each individual I know the hourly wage for each job (w_job1-w_job4). I
wonder how I can creat a variable indicating that which job has the highest
wage. Refer to the following example. The variable I want to creat is the
'Number_job'

ID w_job1 w_job2 w_job3 w_job4 Number_job
1  10        100      0          0         2
2  120      30        10        0         1
3  20        90        80        70       2

Thanks.

Jackie
