If the 12 best weeks worked were taken into account, the majority would have the number of weeks needed to make the calculation fairer. The unemployment rate would be more realistic for calculation purposes and would better reflect the best weeks worked during the summer. If we include in the calculation the weeks at the start and end of the tourist season, when people work part time, the average income drops. However, if we take into account the 10 or 15 best weeks worked, the calculation will at least include the weeks when people worked full time and earned the best incomes.
