The decline in work hours during the 2007–09 recession
The average workweek for all employees on private nonagricultural payrolls decreased by 0.9 hour during the December 2007-June 2009 recession. Aggregate weekly hours, the product of employment and average weekly hours, fell even more. Both the workweek and aggregate hours peaked 6 months prior to the business cycle, which reached its high point in June 2007. The goods-producing sector experienced significant declines in both average weekly hours and employment levels. Because total private average weekly hours are weighted by industry employment, both the very large employment losses and the decreases in the workweek in goods-producing industries pulled down the average workweek for all private sector industries. Reductions in average weekly hours for production workers were greater during the 2007-2009 recession than during the 1990-1991 recession or the 2001 recession. Even with the steady progress of average weekly hours now being made toward reaching prerecession levels, growth in aggregate weekly hours has been much slower: through December 2010, aggregate weekly hours remained 7.7% below the December 2007 level.

Soft tissue reconstruction following hemipelvectomy
Background: Resection of primary and metastatic pelvic bone disease may result in large soft tissue deficits. Guidelines for soft tissue reconstruction following pelvic bone resection were evaluated in a retrospective study.
Methods: Over a 5-year period 21 patients (31%) required soft tissue reconstruction following pelvic bone resection. Data on these patients were retrieved from case records.
Results: Twelve patients underwent immediate, planned reconstruction, 1 a two-stage reconstruction, and 8 patients required a delayed procedure for complications after bone resection and primary closure. Soft tissue reconstruction was usually accomplished with muscle-based flaps; (25 flaps in 20 patients: 20 pedicled, 5 free), or with skin grafts alone (1 patient). Specific postreconstruction complications occurred in 9 patients, 5 in flaps based on the ipsilateral rectus muscle.
Conclusion: Flap closure is indicated to achieve primary closure and eliminate deadspace. The ipsilateral rectus muscle should be used with caution and contralateral-based rectus flaps considered. Indications for free flaps include the size and location of the defect and availability of tissue from an amputated limb.
