We construct quarterly US average hours worked using Current Population Survey data on employed persons at work and their actual hours worked. Our methodology can be applied to different demographic groups, providing researchers with readily available long-run series of hours. •We construct a novel measure of US hours worked using data on persons at work.•Our measure is an alternative to estimates using data on all employed persons.•Focus on persons at work eliminates the need for hard to obtain data on weeks worked.•Our methodology allows us to disaggregate hours by subgroups of the population.
