• U.S. Time Use Survey — 2014
|
The American Time Use Survey data include the average amount of time per day in 2014 that
individuals worked, did household activities, and engaged in leisure and sports
activities. Additionally, measures of the average time per day spent providing
childcare....
Some findings: Employed persons worked an average of 7.8 hours on the days they worked. More hours were worked, on average, on weekdays than on weekend days--8.1 hours compared with 5.7 hours. On the days they worked, employed men worked 52 minutes more than employed women. This difference partly reflects women's greater likelihood of working part time. However, even among full-time workers (those usually working 35 hours or more per week), men worked longer than women--8.4 hours compared with 7.8 hours….” Please visit this link to read the full report: USDOL-BLS NOTE: This report is provided with the understanding that the publisher is not engaged in providing legal, financial, accounting or other professional advice.

• Connecticut Public Act 15-86 [SB00914]— Effective October 1, 2015
AN ACT CONCERNING AN EMPLOYER'S FAILURE TO PAY WAGESWith one exception, this bill requires, rather than allows, a court to award double damages plus court costs and attorney's fees if it finds that an employer failed to (1) pay an employee's wages, accrued fringe benefits, or arbitration award or (2) meet the law's requirements for an employee's minimum wage or overtime rates.Under the bill, the double-damage requirement does not apply to employers who establish a good-faith belief that their underpayments were legal. Such employers must, however, pay full damages, plus court costs and attorney's fees. Existing law also allows the labor commissioner to collect unpaid wages and payments or bring a civil suit on the employee's behalf. NOTE: The analysis provided here may not be based on the ultimate language of the new Public Act as the legislature may have fiddled with it in the final stages of the law’s passage. A final copy of the language of the law can be found at ConnecticutLegislature.

• U.S. Gross Domestic Product: 3rd Estimate — Q1 2015
|
Real gross domestic product -- the value of the production of goods and services in the United
States, adjusted for price changes -- decreased at an annual rate of 0.2 percent in the first quarter of
2015, according to the "third" estimate. In the fourth
quarter, real GDP increased 2.2 percent.
The GDP estimate released today is based on more complete source data than were available for the "second" estimate issued last month. In the second estimate, the decrease in real GDP was 0.7 percent. With the third estimate for the first quarter, exports decreased less than previously estimated, and personal consumption expenditures (PCE) and imports increased more (see "Revisions" on page 3). The decrease in real GDP in the first quarter primarily reflected negative contributions from exports, nonresidential fixed investment, and state and local government spending that were partly offset by positive contributions from PCE, private inventory investment, and residential fixed investment. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, increased.
