Data Characteristics Data Characteristics Date last updated Date last updated28th May 2021
Other data characteristics Other data characteristicsAt the beginning of the year 2012, GDP per hour worked was significantly revised for a large number of OECD countries. Revisions are mainly due to the implementation of the classification NACE Rev.2 by European countries into their national accounts, the change of reference year in some OECD member countries, along with the possible implementation of other methodological changes. These changes can impact on output and/or labour input at the whole economy level.
