Note: In the Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey, estimates for nonfarm natural resources do not cover forestry, fishing, hunting, trapping, or agricultural support activities, for which the estimates are instead derived from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages. The “Hours paid, CES” series is all-employee hours paid in the CES survey; the “Hours worked, new” series is all-employee hours calculated by using the new method (all-employee hours paid, with a paid-time-off and off-the-clock hours adjustment); the “Hours worked, old” series is all-employee hours calculated by using the 2004 method. Q1 = first quarter, Q2 = second quarter, Q3 = third quarter, and Q4 = fourth quarter. Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
