margins, by(fem occupation)
gives me all the values of the interactions between fem#occupation,
therefore a total of 14 interactions (2 genders*7 occupations):

is it possible to gen a new variable for each of the listet interaction?
For example, a variable taking the value 2.398703, etc. This is useful
for me, since therafter I have to compute calculations by using these
interactions.

thanks
Chiara
