Hours Worked is captured automatically from written numeric responses, or the 'None' mark box, from question 44 on the Census Household Form. This process is subject to low levels of recognition error. In addition, outlying values are checked manually to ensure that they match the actual response on the form. The data may include a small proportion of persons with an unusual number of hours worked, as all numeric responses are accepted as reported. This variable was new for 2011 and has not changed in 2016. However, changes were made to the questions used to derive Labour Force Status and the 'none' box for Hours Worked was removed from the online Census form.
