This is the readme file to create Table 1, Table B.1 and Table B.2 in 
"How Tight is the US Labor Market" by Katharine Abraham, John Haltiwanger and Lea Rendell, BPEA, Spring 2020

Step 1: Choose a working directory and make sure following 2 folders are in [directory]/Tables_1_B1_B2: 
	1) estimates
	2) tables
	Make sure all three do files are in the subfolder [directory]/Tables_1_B1_B2/dofiles:
	1)  Table_1.do
	2)  Tables_B1_and_B2.do
	3)  Table_B2.do

	The zip file will have these pre-created. 
	Note: The data necessary to run the analysis will be located in the folder:
              [directory]/Tables_1_B1_B2/data


Step 2: Open Master_Do_File.do and set the working directory as the main folder that contains the 4 
	folders that were created in Step 1. You set this directory on line 22 of the do file. 
	(i.e. where you see: global path "[Insert Working Directory Here]/Tables_1_B1_B2" ) 	

Step 3: Run Master_Do_File.do. The results will be 4 TeX tables located in the folder tables:
	  Table 1: [directory]/Tables_1_B1_B2/tables/Final_Table_1_2006.tex and 
		   [directory]/Tables_1_B1_B2/tables/Final_Table_1_2010.tex
	Table B.1: [directory]/Tables_1_B1_B2/tables/Table_B1.tex
	Table B.2: [directory]/Tables_1_B1_B2/tables/Table_B2.tex
