The Department of Labor (DOL) is submitting the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) sponsored information collection request (ICR) titled, ``Well-being Supplement to the American Time Use Survey,'' to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval for continued use in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
How do you spend your time? This week I read an interesting survey about how Americans spend their days, on average, from sleeping to reading email. All I can say is, I must not be average. The stats came from the Bureau of Labor Statistics' annual survey of individuals 15 and older.
I examine the contested finding that men and women engage in gender performance through housework. Prior scholarship has found a curvilinear association between earnings share and housework that has been interpreted as evidence of gender performance. I reexamine these findings by conducting the first such analysis to use high-quality time diary data for a U.S. sample in the contemporary period. Drawing on data on 11,868 married women and 10,770 married men in the American Time Use Survey (2003-2007), I find no evidence that married men "'do gender" through housework. I do, however, find strong evidence of gender performance among women as evidenced by a curvilinear association between earnings share and women's housework time.
The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a pre-clearance consultation program to provide the general public and Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c) (2)(A)]. This program helps to ensure that requested data can be provided in the desired format, reporting burden (time and financial resources) is minimized, collection instruments are clearly understood, and the impact of collection requirements on respondents can be properly assessed. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is soliciting comments concerning the proposed extension of the ``Well-being Supplement to the American...

Dayton business owner Tom Maher responds each day to more than 20 work-related email messages outside of traditional office hours, reflecting a growing number of Americans who are cutting back on their leisure time to get work done on the weekends. More than 35 percent of employed Americans work on an average weekend day, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' 2010 American Time Use Survey. That figure, up from 34 percent in 2008, includes people whose jobs are typically performed on weekends, as well as those who usually work on weekdays but spent time working on the weekend, the survey said.
Expert analysis depends upon data and assumptions made about the data. While an expert's testimony may be attacked on issue faulty theory or analysis-it is often more compelling to demonstrate false assumptions were made in generating the conclusions the expert presents. This short note will deal with a problem the author detected in another economist's report that relied upon data from the American Time Use Survey (ATUS) to derive projections for household services. In the absence of better information, using the ATUS to determine an estimate for household services can be justified if all of the information is taken into account. However, an expert cannot pick and choose among ways that an individual is assumed to be average simply because doing so results in larger damages. Being fami...
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15 /U.S. Newswire/ -- U.S. Labor Secretary Elaine L. Chao released the following statement in response to the first-ever American Time Use Survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS): This week's inaugural release of the American Time Use Survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics provides the first official statistics on how American workers and families balance the time devoted each day to their work, family and managing their household. President Bush has proposed policies for comp-time and flex-time to ensure that private sector workers have the same flexibility public sector workers enjoy today in meeting the demands of their busy schedules.
More Dayton-area teens drink alcohol than smoke, and what most of them are smoking isn't legal at any age. The results of the 2012 Day-ton Area Drug Survey found that drug use is down overall among local seventh- through 12th-grade students, and alcohol remains their drug of choice.
Having a job in high school has many benefits. It can teach responsibility, time-management skills, and the value of earning money. But being employed does reduce teens' leisure time, according to data from the BLS 2005 American Time Use Survey. On weekdays during the school year, employed high school students aged 15 to 19 worked about 2 hours on average and had 3 hours of leisure time. Students who did not work enjoyed an extra hour of leisure time. Only the respondent's primary activity was recorded, not activities done simultaneously.
