Average Workweek

    0.01 sec.
Average Workweek
The total number of hours employees work in a week divided by the number of employees. The Bureau of Labor Statistics compiles and publishes the average workweek for the United States. When the average workweek is decreasing, it indicates employers are cutting costs and may be a leading indicator of a recession. Likewise, an increase in the average workweek may portend a recovery.
