Household Spending: Who Spends How Much on What, 13th Edition
New Strategist Publications, Inc., Dec 2008, Pages: 614+
Welcome to the 13th edition of Household Spending: Who Spends How Much on What, your exclusive guide to the spending patterns of American households in 2006. The detailed spending data presented here are not available on any government web site. They were obtained by special request from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. New Strategist has been acquiring and processing these data since 1989 (publishing Household Spending every two years through 1999 and annually since 2000), providing a unique and comprehensive analysis of the spending of American households.
Since we published the first edition of Household Spending, the economy has cycled through good times and bad. Despite the ups and downs, the average household has held a surprisingly steady course. While spending has grown strongly at the national level over the years, it has increased more moderately at the household level. This caution has served Americans well, helping to insulate their day-to-day lives from the economy’s gyrations. The rising costs of housing, health care, education, and energy are now strraining household budgets. These factors emerge in the 2006 spending data.
If Americans buy it, you can probably find out how much they’re spending on it in the all-new 13th edition of Household Spending: Who Spends How Much on What.
Widely praised when the first edition appeared in 1991, this unique resource gives you the latest dollar-for-dollar answers to the questions Who buys? What do they buy? How much do they spend? It also gives you market shares and spending indexes, valuable additions that add depth to your research.
Based on unpublished data collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ 2006 Consumer Expenditure Survey, Household Spending examines how much American households spend on hundreds of products and services by the demographics that count—age, income, household type, region of residence, race and Hispanic origin, and educational attainment.
