American Time Use Survey Multi-Year Microdata Files
The ATUS multi-year microdata files combine several years of previously-released and publicly-available ATUS microdata.
Because changes in time use occur relatively slowly over time, it is possible to combine multiple
years of ATUS data; doing so facilitates more detailed analyses about how Americans spend
their time.
About the Multi-Year ATUS Microdata Files
This page includes links to the multi-year ATUS microdata files and
supporting documentation. Each set of multi-year ATUS microdata files combines multiple years of ATUS data. For example,
the 2003-11 ATUS Multi-year Microdata files combine microdata
from the 2003 to 2011 ATUS.
Researchers can use these multi-year ATUS microdata files to
produce their own time-use estimates or do other analyses.
These 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.
