Consumer Expenditure Survey Summary Tables

The Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE) program consists of two surveys: the quarterly Interview survey and the annual Diary survey. Combined, these two surveys provide information on the buying habits of American consumers, including data on their expenditures, income, and consumer unit (families and single consumers) characteristics. The survey data are collected for the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) by the U.S. Census Bureau. The CE collects all on all spending components including food, housing, apparel and services, transportation, entertainment, and out-of-pocket health care costs. The CE features several arts-related spending categories, including the following items: Spending on Admissions Plays, theater, opera, and concerts Movies, parks, and museums Spending on Reading Newspapers and magazines Books Digital book readers Spending on Other Arts-Related Items Musical instruments Photographic equipment Audio-visual equipment Toys, games, arts and crafts The CE is important because it is the only Federal survey to provide information on the complete range of consumers' expenditures and incomes, as well as the characteristics of those consumers. It is used by economic policymakers examining the impact of policy changes on economic groups, by the Census Bureau as the source of thresholds for the Supplemental Poverty Measure, by businesses and academic researchers studying consumers' spending habits and trends, by other Federal agencies, and, perhaps most importantly, to regularly revise the Consumer Price Index market basket of goods and services and their relative importance. The most recent data tables are for 2018, and were made available on September 10, 2019. The unpublished integrated CE data tables produced by the BLS are available to download through NADAC (click on "Excel" in the Dataset(s) section). Also, see Featured CE Tables and Economic News Releases sections on the CE home page for current data tables and news release. The 2018 public-use microdata is the most recent and was released on September 10, 2019.

《消费者支出调查》（CE）项目包括两个调查：季度访谈调查和年度日记调查。这两个调查共同提供了关于美国消费者购买习惯的信息，包括他们的支出、收入以及消费者单元（家庭和单身消费者）的特征数据。该调查数据由美国人口普查局收集，用于美国劳工统计局（BLS）。CE项目收集了所有支出组成部分的数据，包括食品、住房、服装及服务、交通、娱乐以及自付医疗保健费用。CE项目特别涵盖了多个与艺术相关的支出类别，包括以下项目：

- 门票支出
- 剧院、歌剧、音乐会、电影、公园和博物馆
- 阅读支出
- 报纸和杂志、书籍、数字图书阅读器
- 其他与艺术相关的物品支出
- 音乐乐器、摄影设备、视听设备、玩具、游戏、艺术和手工艺品

CE项目的重要性在于，它是唯一一项提供关于消费者支出、收入完整范围及消费者特征的联邦调查。它被经济政策制定者用于研究政策变化对经济群体的影响，被人口普查局作为补充贫困衡量标准的阈值来源，被企业和学术研究人员用于研究消费者的支出习惯和趋势，被其他联邦机构用于参考，并且也许最为重要的是，用于定期修订消费者价格指数的市场商品和服务篮子及其相对重要性。最新的数据表格为2018年，于2019年9月10日公布。由BLS生成的未发布的综合CE数据表格可通过NADAC下载（在数据集部分点击“Excel”）。此外，请参阅CE主页上的“重点CE表格”和“经济新闻发布”部分，获取当前的数据表格和新闻发布。2018年的公共使用微观数据是最新的，并于2019年9月10日发布。
