As with the national HRM 2012, source CPA data were only available for reference year 2007 onward due to the recent historical revision of the CSNA. Since this does not cover the entire reference period of the PTHRM, estimates for reference years 1997 through 2006 were derived by back-casting the 2007 totals using growth rates from previously published CSNA labour productivity data for 1997 to 2006 which predate the historical revision.

Since publication of the national HRM 2012, additional National Household Survey 2011 data have been released. These data have been incorporated as a third benchmark in addition to the 2001 and 2006 Censuses of Population. See Appendix D: Methodology, Step 3 for more information.
