Usual Hours Worked in the Past 12 Months for Workers 16 to 64: 2008 and 2009. American Community Survey Briefs

摘要

Since the onset of the recession in December of 2007, work hours have trended downward because of increasing involuntary part-time work and a reduction in overtime hours. These trends vary by metropolitan statistical area (metro area) and by type of employment. This report will show where work-hour cuts have been most prevalent. It highlights changes in usual hours worked per week by sex, occupation, industry, and class of worker.
