I think this will work (it works on my stata8.2 and I don't think this was
changed):
tab broadincomecat jobsat, row
That should give you row percentages. For column percentages it would be:
tab broadincomecat jobsat, column
and for table percentages it would be:
tab broadincomecat jobsat, cell
Hope this helps.

I don't know why typing the exact same thing yields different results on my computer!
