A Method to Estimate the Bureau of Labor Statistics Family Budgets for All Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas.

Cobas, Jose A.

Social Science Quarterly, v59 n3 p546-52 Dec 1978

Since the Bureau of Labor's cost-of-living statistics are available for only 40 standard metropolitan statistical areas (SMSAs) in four regions, the author presents a method to estimate family budgets for all SMSAs. Data for the calculations are easily accessible in Census and other government publications. (Author/KC)
