Who uses the information from the ATUS?
Researchers, journalists, educators, sociologists, economists, government lawmakers, lawyers, and individuals are all users of time-use information. The survey produces nationally-representative estimates of the U.S. population’s time use by labor force status, demographic characteristics, and other factors. Analysts are able to compare Americans’ time use with similar data from almost fifty other countries that have, or soon will have, time-use surveys. To find out more about how time-use data can be used, go to the ATUS Overview.
