The American Marketplace: Demographics And Spending Patterns

This collection of easy-to-read tables and graphs reveals current trends in American lifestyles, from the proportion of babies born out of wedlock to the net worth of baby boomers. It also looks into the future, with projections on populations, college enrollment, and workers. New to this edition are the latest data on the housing market, and the results of the new American Time Use Survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Also new is information on spending in households with incomes of $100,000 or more. A page of text analyzing the data accompanies most of the tables, and a glossary is included.
