WHAT IS THIS SURVEY ALL ABOUT?
The Consumer Expenditure Diary Survey collects information from
households and families on their buying habits. It helps us to understand
what products and services are bought and how much is spent.
1. Enter 1 to Continue
FRONT
H_PURPOSE2
<1> [return to interview]
WHO USES THIS INFORMATION?
This survey has a number of uses. The most important is the periodic
revision of the Consumer Price Index. The Consumer Price Index provides
cost of living and wage adjustments, social security payment adjustments,
and helps determine the cost of school lunches.
Government and private agencies use the data to study the welfare of
particular segments of the population. Economic policymakers use the
data to study the impact of policy changes
in the welfare of different socioeconomic groups. Researchers use the data
in a variety of studies, including those that focus on the spending behavior
of different family types and historical spending trends.

your expenses each day depends on how many things you buy. Some days,
you may have nothing to record, other days may have a lot to record. It
averages out to about 15 minutes a day.
After today, I will return in a week to pick up your completed diary and drop
off the second diary. At the end of the second week, I will return to pick up
the second completed diary and ask a few final questions.

WHAT PROTECTION DO I HAVE?
Your names and addresses are removed from what you report in the diaries.
All Census Bureau employees take an oath of confidentiality and are subject
to fines and imprisonment, if they improperly disclose information provided
by people like you. All information collected is used for statistical purposes

H_PURPOSE5
IS THIS SURVEY AUTHORIZED BY LAW?
Yes. The Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts the Consumer Expenditure
Diary Survey under the authority of Title 29 of the U.S. Code. Congress
authorizes the financial support for the CE survey through Public Laws
94-439 and 95-205.
The Census Bureau collects the CE data under the authority of Title 13, U.S.
Code, Section 8b, which allows the Census Bureau to undertake surveys for
other government agencies. Participation in the survey is voluntary. Under
Title 13, the Census Bureau holds all information in strict confidence. We
