HOURLY EARNINGS |
The HOURLY EARNINGS (manufacturing) subject table
has been completely revised. All country series are now seasonally adjusted and
a new methodology for compiling OECD area total series has been introduced.
These changes are described in the following article "Planned
changes to the MEI Hourly earnings subject table". Associated changes to
series codes are provided in the Countries List below. |
SEASONAL ADJUSTMENTS |
New seasonal adjustments by OECD are generally carried out once a year, when the December figure is available. Revisions to individual series due to new seasonal adjustments by national source or by OECD are not signalled in this note. |
FOR FURTHER DETAILS | Detailed methodological information, updated with a delay of one month, is available on this CD-ROM in \doc\MetaCtr.htm or at http://www.oecd.org/std/mei.
Questions relating to these database notes should be directed by e-mail to stat.contact@oecd.org. |
