United States Average Weekly Hours
In the United States, the total weekly hours divided by the number of employees who are compensated for those hours equals the average weekly hours. Unpaid absence, employee turnover, part-time employment, and stoppages all contribute to the average weekly hours being fewer than the number of hours allocated for an establishment.
A higher than expected figure should be seen as positive (bullish) for the USD while a lower than expected figure should be seen as negative (bearish) for the USD.
