The given pie charts compare the expenses in 7 different categories in 1966 and 1996 by American Citizens.
The pie charts demonstrate the percentages of spending on 7 different categories within 3 decades between 1966 and 1996 by American Citizens.
It is evident that while American citizens mainly spent money on Food in 1966, cars accounted for the highest percentage in 1996.
The upward patterns could be seen in the categories of cars, computers, restaurants and petrol. Cars only comprised a quarter of total spending in 1966 but doubled to 45% in 1996. Similarly, the two-fold increase could be witnessed in the percentage of restaurants, reaching to 14% in 1996. It is noticeable that although computers were the least-spent items with 1% of total expenditure, this figure grew ten times 10% in 1996. However, the proportion of petrol spending hardly changed, rising slightly by 1% from 8% n 1966.
The remaining items showed the opposite trends. The percentage of food was up to 44% in 1966 but declined four-times in the following three decades. The most considerable decrease was the expenditure on books with the figure falling to 1% from 6% in 1966. The slight fall could only be seen in spending on furniture, shrinking by 2% from 10%.
