American Time Use Survey 2004 Microdata Files
This page includes links to the 2004 ATUS microdata files and
supporting documentation. Researchers can use the ATUS microdata files to
produce their own time-use estimates or do other analyses. Each ZIP file
contains a data file along with computer programs that will read the data
file into SAS, SPSS, and Stata. The data files are in CSV-format
(comma-separated values).
The microdata files do not contain time-use estimates. Tables showing
time-use estimates for major activity categories, selected detailed
activities, and selected demographic and labor force characteristics are
available on the ATUS Web site under the headings News Releases,
Charts and Tables.
