Fyi: context has a built-in way of saying “lots of”, it’s called “\dorecurse”; have look at syst-aux.mkiv for loops &c.

all works fine
but when I add:
\placetable[here][tab:five]{Descriptive Statistics for Salaried Men \& Women} {
in order to get reference, caption I lose the split and so the tables just runs OFF the end of the page

This seems to be a standard natural table.
