[R] How to Display Value Labels in R Outputs?

[Courtney Benjamin]

Hello R Experts,

I am using the Survey Package in R to do some initial descriptive stats for my dissertation. With the outputs for both the svymean and the barplot, I would like the value labels to be displayed for the variable-it would make the descriptive statistics much easier to interpret. Instead of the output labels of: F1RTRCC1, F1RTRCC2-I would like to see the value labels of "academic" and "occupational" to be displayed.

How do I go about making this happen? I am including a minimal reproducible example with a small subset of my actual data:

Any help is greatly appreciated. My only experience thus far is with SPSS and I have a feeling that the reason the variable value labels are not appearing is due to either the way I read the dataset into R: elsq1ch<-read.table (file="els-Q1-04-21-16.dat", header = TRUE, sep = "\t", quote = "\"", dec =".") or I am not specifying some detail that is required to manually assign labels to the values of the variables.?
