AGGREGATE MONTHLY HOURS WORKED JANUARY 2010


FULL TIME

In trend terms, the full time aggregate monthly hours worked increased 0.3 million hours to 1,299.9 million hours. This was driven by a rise in the number of full time aggregate monthly hours worked by males, up 1.5 million hours to 873.9 million hours, that was mostly offset by a fall in the number of aggregate monthly hours worked by females, down 1.2 million hours to 426.0 million hours.


PART TIME

In trend terms, the part time aggregate monthly hours worked increased 0.6 million hours to 229.1 million hours. This was driven by a rise in the number of part time aggregate monthly hours worked by males, up 0.4 million hours to 69.9 million hours, together with a slight rise in the number of aggregate monthly hours worked by females, up 0.1 million hours to 159.2 million hours.


TOTAL

In trend terms, total aggregate monthly hours worked increased 0.9 million hours to 1,529.0 million hours. This was driven by a rise in aggregate monthly hours worked by males, up 2.0 million hours to 943.8 million hours, that was partially offset by a fall in aggregate monthly hours worked by females, down 1.1 million hours to 585.3 million hours.
