Description: This study includes data for 2,053 individuals between 19 and 65 years of age living in cities with a population between 30,000 and 280,000, and in households which had at least one adult employed in a non-farming occupation. The 112 variables are of two general types. One group concerns sociodemographic background characteristics while the second set deals with time use for a 24-hour period. The 1965-1966 time use data were obtained from a diary of activities kept by the respondent over a 24-hour period and the 1975-1976 data were collected in a face-to-face interview. In both cases the socio-demographic data were gathered from interviews. The file contains common variables for respondents from two separate surveys: 1,241 respondents from Americans' Use of Time, 1965-1966 , and 812 respondents from Time Use in Economic and Social Accounts, 1975-1976.
