In this article I will examine possibilities for a Marxist analysis of class through use of information available in various U.S. census public use samples....The public use samples are machine-readable individual- and household-level microdata samples entered from original census manuscripts....Public use samples of varying densities exist for 1880 1900 1910 1940 1950 1960 1970 and 1980. The author concludes that census data are useful but that the social scientific mapping of classes explains nothing until we can make connections to other levels of class formation. The public use samples need to be used to help us understand historical context within which process of class formation has taken place. By applying public use samples we can attempt to compare relative influences of class gender and race over time. (EXCERPT)
