NOTE: The indexes of aggregate weekly hours are calculated by

dividing the current month's estimates of aggregate hours by

the corresponding 2002 annual average levels. Aggregate hours

estimates are the product of estimates of average weekly hours

and production and nonsupervisory employment. Data are currently

projected from March 2011 benchmark levels. When more recent

benchmark data are introduced with the release of January 2013

estimates, all seasonally adjusted data from January 2008 forward

are subject to revision.
