* Hours and earnings estimates are produced for all employees in the private sector, for production employees in Manufacturing and Mining and logging, for construction workers in Construction,

and for nonsupervisory workers in private, service-providing industries. The estimates are derived from reports of gross payrolls and corresponding paid hours. The payroll for employees

covered by the CES survey is reported before deductions of any kind, such as unemployment insurance, withholding and social security taxes, health plans, union dues, or retirement plans.

Included in the payroll reports is pay for overtime, vacations, holidays and sick leave paid directly by the firm. Bonuses, commissions, and other types of non-wage cash payments are

excluded unless they are earned and paid regularly (at least once a month). Employee benefits paid by the employer, as well as payments in kind, are excluded.

Total hours during the pay period include all hours worked (including overtime hours), and hours paid for holidays, vacations, and sick leave. Total hours differ from the concept of

scheduled hours worked. Estimates of average weekly hours reflect effects of numerous factors such as unpaid absenteeism, labor turnover, part-time work, strikes, and fluctuations in

work schedules for economic reasons. Overtime hours in Manufacturing are collected where overtime premiums were paid if hours were in excess of the number of straight time hours

in a workday or workweek.

-- U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics

† Some Metropolitan Area hours and earnings data have been suppressed due to a processing error in the calculation of the estimates that was discovered.

It is anticipated that the estimates will be corrected and released as part of the annual benchmark release.
