Every figure, with its source
One row per published figure: the figure as the source's own page publishes it, the page, and the day it was read. A figure that is not on a page we read is not on this one.

Read in full, publishes no figure
3 named sources were read in full on the dates shown and print no usable figure. They are counted, never filled in.
- Destatis Wöchentliche Arbeitszeit (Qualität der Arbeit), read 2026-09-12: every candidate on the page was refused
- Destatis: Arbeitszeitwünsche 2025, read 2026-09-12: every candidate on the page was refused
- IAB-Arbeitszeitrechnung, read 2026-10-12: read in full and no accepted figure on the page
Methodology
Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).
3 of the 6 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 3 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 0 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.
The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in % (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 21 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.
The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): the official series of actually worked and contractually agreed weekly hours, full-time and part-time, beside the paid and unpaid overtime per employee per year, so the calculator can answer 'more or less than the country' rather than only 'how many'; the gap between agreed and actual hours is the derived figure and nobody publishes it as one series
21 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
