Published grouped distribution
Methodology / Source

U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics — CPS Annual Averages, Table 19

Published shares for 1–4, 5–14, 15–29, 30–34, 35–39, exactly 40, 41–48, 49–59, and 60+ hours. Results cumulatively sum complete lower categories.

About this calculator

What this calculator measures

See how your work hours compares with a relevant reference population. The comparison uses the reference population and evidence identified on this page.

How to interpret your result

A percentile describes the approximate percentage of the stated reference population with a lower value. When a source supports only categories, medians, or averages, Humanlytic shows that broader comparison instead of inventing an exact percentile.

Methodology

How this works

Evidence quality

Calculated from survey data

Method

Humanlytic places the entered weekly hours into BLS CPS Table 19’s published 2025 category for all workers, men, or women, then sums the shares in complete lower categories. The result is the category’s cumulative percentile range; no within-category distribution is assumed.

Data source

U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics — CPS Annual Averages, Table 19 (2025)

Limitations

BLS publishes grouped actual-hours categories, not individual-hour percentiles. Humanlytic returns the cumulative percentile range occupied by the selected category and does not distribute workers uniformly within it. The 2025 annual estimates are 11-month averages excluding October because data were not collected during the federal shutdown.
