Scott, many many thanks it looks almost perfect.

If it's not too much trouble, I would like the bars thinner and
adjacent, and to create equal spaces between categories 1 and 2 and
categories 2 and 3.

P.S. This is very important - in some of the best econ journals they
ask for the data in order to replicate the outcomes
