If Americans buy it, you can probably find out how much they're spending on it in the newest 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 Based on unpublished data collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Consumer Expenditure Survey, Household Spending examines how much Americans spend on hundreds of products and services by the demographics that count-age, income, household type, region of residence, race and Hispanic originand educational attainment. The products and services are organized into chapters on apparel, entertainment, financial products and services, food and alcohol, gifts, health care, household operations, shelter and utilities, transportation, personal care, reading, education, and tobacco.
