Subject:      Comparing Demographics at two time periods
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

Dear List:  I have a sample that was tested at time 1 and then again at time 2. There was attrition and I want to compare whether the samples are actually similar in terms of demographics. The variables are categorical (like highest degree held). I have hit a wall as to how I can compare the two "samples".  Any advice will be appreciated.  Thanks,
