About this series

Labour costs per hour worked, EUR, NACE B–S excluding O. Eurostat; before 2020 every four years.

Indicator definition

Gross wages plus employer social contributions and other labour costs, minus subsidies, per hour worked. See also: Net earnings (Eurostat).

How to read the data

Before 2020 Eurostat published levels only every four years (2008, 2012, 2016), so earlier points are sparse.
