The source adds the following information:
"This indicator represents the percentage of hours lost compared to the baseline (the latest pre-crisis quarter, i.e., the 4th quarter of 2019, seasonally adjusted), adjusting for population aged 15-64. Hence, the figures reported should not be interpreted as a quarterly or an inter-annual growth rate."
