Hello Ulrich.

Thanks again for the tip.

Yes, in my Windows box, the bars are just fine without the 95% rescaling.

I'll have access tomorrow to a Linux box, I'll try and let you know what happens.

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?
