  "term": "Complete income reporters",
  "field": "Economic statistics",
  "definition": "Respondents who provide information about major sources of income, such as wages and salaries, self employment income, and Social Security income.\n\nNote: In all consumer expenditure Survey tables before 2004, income data were for complete income reporters only. From 2004 onward, income data are for all consumer units. Even complete income reporters may not have provided a full accounting of all income from all sources. Before 2004 in the Consumer Expenditure Survey, across-the-board zero income reporting was designated as invalid and the consumer unit was categorized as an incomplete reporter. With the introduction of income imputation, all consumer units have missing income values imputed or are represented by valid zeroes.",
