New Year Reflections on 1976 Family and Consumer Trends
Holle Mechem and Emmet Dickinson summarize a year end report on 1976 consumer trends. Clothing expenses averaged 345 dollars per person with rises in cotton and wool prices. Homes cut energy use, while energy per household stalled from 1974 to 1975. Food budgets stay about 17 percent of take home pay, restaurant meals tax 27 percent of food spending, and 1977 food prices forecast to rise 3 to 4 percent. Domestic trends show family size shrinking to under three, with over half of families being one or two person households and many younger families choosing two children.
