Hourwise — measuring working time
An independent editorial project explaining how official statistics measure working hours and hourly pay—and why the numbers disagree.
Field notes
The project separates three common sources of working-time data: household recall, employer payroll records, and time-use diaries. Its library currently lists three articles, including one on unpaid hours and the long-hours tail and another arguing that many hourly-pay figures are calculated divisions rather than direct observations. Hourwise says its editorial rules require identifiable sources and place methodological criticism alongside the finding under discussion.
