The size of the effects of your random variables and their 
variance worry me a great deal. Often this occurs when 
variables have a wrong scale for the model, for example 
annual income in $s rather than 1000s of $. If that is not 
the case then there is something very fishy going on with 
your model.

Once you have fixed your model you can use -predict- to get
your individual betas for the independent variables for 
every SIC code. See -help xtmixed postestimation-.

Hope this helps,
Maarten
