I thing you did. I have one comment and one question.

Comment: A nice trick to label the years for which you have data is

. levelsof year, local(lab)
. twoway rbar lower upper wageclass, xlabel(`lab')

Question: Adjusting the bar-width with 

. levelsof wageclass, local(K)
. local width  = (`:word 2 of `K'' - `:word 1 of `K'')
. twoway    
    || rbar lower upper wageclass,  barwidth(`width') horizontal  

does not work sufficiently for me. On my screen (Stata 10.1 for Linux), the bars overlap, 
(although I think they shouldn't). In my proposal I have therefore used

. local width  = (`:word 2 of `K'' - `:word 1 of `K'') * .95

to scale the bar width somewhat further down. Wasn't that necessary under Windows?
