Data Change: Chile - Hourly wage index - Rebased to 2016
Tuesday, 14 Nov 2017 14:38 ET
By Megan Hilaman
Summary
October 2017 -- Concurrent with the July 2017 results for the hourly wage index for Chile, the source has advanced the base year from 2009 to 2016 (one monthly series 2010-2017, replaced from 2016).
Detail

In response, we have archived the predecessor (2009=100, January 2010 to June 2017) by renaming with an "_09" specifier, by marking its metadata as "discontinued" and by segregating in the catalog. The one-for-one replacement (2016=100) starts at January 2016. Figures are volume index (i.e., inflation-adjusted) based to 2016, not seasonally adjusted (NSA).

The series reside in the historical catalog (Chile » Labor and Wages » Earnings index) and are:

  • LWJWGS_09UM.ICHL = [DISCONTINUED] Labor cost index: Hourly wage, (Vol. Index 2009=100, NSA)
  • LWJWGSUM.ICHL    = Hourly wage, (Vol. Index 2016=100, NSA)

Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.
