Overview
The fifth edition of Who's Buying Information and Consumer Electronics is based on unpublished data collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics' 2010 Consumer Expenditure Survey -- you can't get these data online. It examines how much Americans spend on information and consumer electronics by the demographics that count: age, income, high-income households, household type, race and Hispanic origin, region of residence, and education. To round out the spending picture, it also presents who-are-the-best-customers analyses of the data, showing the demographics of the best and biggest customers at a glance. The items examined in this report include cell phone service, computer hardware and software, books, video games, televisions, newspapers and magazines, audio and video streaming and downloads, etc. New to this edition is a unique analysis of spending before (2000 to 2006) and after (2006 to 2010) the Great Recession.
