weekcount: Number of weeks in each economic quarter

Description Format Details

Description

This table gives a count of the number of weeks in each quarter. Most quarters have 13 weeks (91 days). The actual number of days in a quarter varies from 90 days (Q1 in non-leap years) to 92 (Q3 and Q4). Note, however, that even when the number of days matches, the actual days being counted may vary a bit, with extra days picked up at one end of the quarter and dropped at the other.
