This PR completes a request from @MattHJensen to add the household sequence and the unique family identifier variables,
h_seqandffpos, respectively, to the CPS file. They are names in accordance with the NBER documentation. Using the two in combination, you can identify individual families in the CPS.For example, you may have a household with
h_seq == 1that contains two families.ffposfor the two families will be 1 and 2.A corresponding Tax-Calculator PR is forth coming.
