| Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes Income tax expense during interim periods is based on our estimated annual effective income tax rate plus any discrete items that are recorded in the period in which they occur. Our tax rate is affected by discrete items that may occur in any given year but may not be consistent from year to year.
Our effective tax rate for continuing operations was 20.8% and 19.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 respectively, and 27.9% and 25.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 respectively. The effective tax rates were lower for the three and the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same periods of the prior year primarily due to lower book income in 2024 and higher excess stock compensation deduction recognized for tax purposes in connection with current year stock vesting.
