Information on usual hours worked was also collected for the respondent's main job (see UHRSWORK1_CPS8), second job (see UHRSWORK2_CPS8) and for total hours worked at all jobs (see UHRSWORKT_CPS8).

HRSWORK1_CPS8 was drawn from the final CPS interview, conducted 2-5 months before the ATUS interview. Information on actual hours worked was not updated at the time of the ATUS interview.
