Where can I find data on average work hours or on average weeks worked?
Depending upon your needs, the Bureau of Labor Statistics may be the best source for data on these topics; see their website: http://www.bls.gov/cps, or e-mail them at cpsinfo@bls.gov. The Census Bureau does not publish data on these derived measures. They can, however, be calculated from the Usual Hours Worked and Weeks Worked variables on the Census 2000 or the American Community Survey Public Use Microdata (PUMS) files. For more information on PUMS files go to: http://www.census.gov/prod/cen2000/doc/pums.
