¹ There may be occasional breaks in the time series of man-hours worked due to public holidays
(movable feasts).

² As from 2006 the age limit to participate in the LFS was lowered from 16 to 15 years. At the same time the definition of age was changed from completed years at the end of the year to completed years at the time of the reference week.
