Trouble getting confidence interval/margin of error for "counts"

I am using the 3 year 2011-2013 American Community Survey Public Use Microdata data from IPUMS. We want to use STATA to calculate confidence intervals (and eventually margins of error) on counts within a specific variable (for instance # of men and # of women within the Sex variable). We figured out how to get confidence intervals on the averages of the Sex variable using the ci command, but are stumped on how to get it for counts. Ideally, we could get STATA to seamlessly crank confidence intervals for the data “observations" (i.e. Male/Female) within a variable (i.e. Sex), but we know we can get at that using "keep" or "if".

We did find a nice spreadsheet from the Census Bureau that tells us the margin of error for different variables for that dataset, so we have something to “check” against. Unfortunately, it doesn’t tell us the margins of error for what we eventually want to get to (detailed occupational category totals and wage/salary info for them).

Thanks,
Anne
