This report presents the demographics of who buys entertainment. Based on unpublished data collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Consumer Expenditure Survey, the report examines how much Americans spend on entertainment by the demographics that count-age, income, high-income households, household type, region of residence, race and Hispanic origin, and education. To round out the spending picture, it also presents "who-are-the-best-customers" analyses of the data, showing the demographics of spending at a glance. The items examined in this report fall within the categories of fees and admissions (movie tickets, social club memberships, etc.); television, radio, and sound equipment; and other entertainment products and services (recreational vehicles, sports equipment, photographic supplies, etc.).

New to this edition are intriguing results of how the nation's spending habits have changed since the beginning of the Great Recession.
