21st century consumer.(US - statistics)
Here's a statistical snapshot of the American consumer: Median income, at $40,816 per household, is more princely than almost any nation's, and many of us have the stuff to show for it. But we also have record levels of credit-card debt, and we make more trash than ever. And the typical family has only $71,600 in assets, including equity in the family home. This list comes from recent government and industry data.
WHAT WE DO
Jobs. Men work about 42 hours a week; women, 36 hours. In 53 percent of married couples, both spouses work.
TV. The TV is on 7 hours and 29 minutes a day at home. Viewing ranges from 3 hours for teens to 5 hours for women over 18.
See advertising. The average American is exposed to 247 commercial messages each day.
Eat. 928 meals per year at home, up from 917 a year earlier; 141 meals at restaurants, up from 139 the year before.
10 million U.S. households (10 percent) were "food insecure," or did not always have enough food to meet basic needs.
