In response, we have:
- Archived the predecessors (FY 2007, 2006Q1 to 2009Q4) by renaming with an "_07" specifier, marking the metadata as "discontinued", and segregating in the catalog.
- Created replacements (FY 2011)
- Assigned standardized mnemonics to both subsets.
- Refurbished the catalog.
Predecessor dataset properties:
- Industry breakdown: Agriculture, non-agriculture
- Figures: Fixed-base value index relative to fiscal year 2007 (Index FY 2007=100) or volume index (Vol. Index FY 2007=100)
- Adjustment: Not seasonally adjusted (NSA)
- Native frequency: Quarterly
- Date range: 2006Q1 to 2009Q4
Replacement dataset properties:
- Industry breakdown: A3 agriculture, industry, services
- Figures: Fixed-base index relative to fiscal year 2011 (Index FY 2011=100)
- Adjustment: Not seasonally adjusted (NSA)
- Native frequency: Monthly
- Start date: January 2012
- Subject to revisions? Yes
The series reside in the historical catalog (Bangladesh >> Labor Markets >> Wage Rate Index) and include, for example:
- LWIWGTM_07UQ.IBGD = [DISCONTINUED] Labor: Wage Rate Index - General - Male, (Index FY 2007=100, NSA)
- LWJWGTXAFF_07UQ.IBGD = [DISCONTINUED] Non-agriculture - Female, (Vol. Index FY 2007=100, NSA)
- LWIWGTUM.IBGD = General, (Index FY 2011=100)
- LWIWGSVUM.IBGD = Service, (Index FY 2011=100)
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.
About the dataset
The Wage Rate Index is designed to describe hourly and unskilled labor, and excludes salaried labor and skilled contracts.
The fiscal year of Bangladesh is July-June, as with Pakistan, but unlike India (April-March).
