[null,"Other checks (please specify) : Agricultural Labour Input","In Switzerland, the annual working unit (AWU) is a standard for agricultural statistics, used for EAA and FADN. 1 AWU = 280 annual working days = 2800 annual working hours. There is no difference in working hours per year between salaried and not salaried AWU's. In general, regarding labour volume input (in hours or days), 1 AWU > 1 FTE (factor varies from year to year, is about 1,3). Therefore, 1 salaried AWU can in reality comprise more than one full time employee. AWU is understood as a measure of volume more than a measure of jobs or employees. \nThe comparatively high labour hours per AWU has to be taken into account when comparing Swiss absolute labour productivity (e.g. volume GVA per hour) with other countries. This doesn't affect evolutions of labour productivity, as the standard  1 AWU = 2800 annual working hours hasn't changed during the whole available periode (1985 upwards)."]

A FADN approach may be possible with pooling technics, which are sensitive on methodological changes in sampling during time (which happened with the Swiss FADN lately).  "]
