This amount consists of a wage share of 15.88 \u20ac plus 14.02 \u20ac in non-wage labour costs. At 88.3 percent, the incidental costs were slightly lower than in the previous year. In 2007, Austria ranked 11th in the international labour cost hierarchy. Labour was most expensive in Norway (one working hour in manufacturing was 33 percent more expensive than in Austria), followed by Belgium (+20 percent), Sweden (+17 percent), Denmark and Germany (+10 percent). Thanks to the exchange rate, Switzerland improved its position, although a working hour was still more expensive (by 8 percent) than in Austria. In France and the Netherlands the working hour cost more, in Finland the same as in Austria. In the UK and Ireland, manufacturers paid 10 percent less; in Italy the cost was one fifth lower than in Austria. The euro appreciation reduced the cost of a working hour in the USA; hence labour was in the USA by a quarter and in Japan by almost 40 percent cheaper than in Austria. In the new EU countries, labour cost a fraction of the Austrian rate: in Hungary, Estonia and the Czech Republic it was just about 20 percent, in Poland, Lithuania and Latvia 15 percent, and in Romania and Bulgaria less than 10 percent.","onlinedate":"2008-09-18 02:00:00","lang":"German","publication_series":"","publication_date":"20080901","publication_date_year":"","publication_date_full":false,"publication_num_pages":"","keywords":"[\"Lohnst\u00fcckkosten Arbeitskosten \u00d6sterreich Internationaler Vergleich Sachg\u00fcterproduktion\"]","jelcodes":"[]","related_publications":"[]","pdf":331297,"zip":null,"link":"","monthly_report":true,"monthly_report_main":false,"monthly_report_volume":"81","monthly_report_pages":"715-724","monthly_report_pages_sort":"715","issue":"9","journal":"WIFO-Monatsberichte","publisher":"","invisible":false,"external":false,"embargo_date":null,"types":[44312],"research_groups":[3510],"collaboration":"","persons":[3593,3679],"persons_data":"[{\"personId\":3593,\"personName\":\"Alois Guger\",\"organisationNames\":[]},{\"personId\":3679,\"personName\":\"Thomas Leoni\",\"organisationNames\":[]}]","clients":[],"subclients":[],"partners":[],"topics":[],"host_publication_title":"","host_publication_subtitle":"","place_of_publication":"","host_publication_editors":"[]","type_description":"","output_media":"","chapter":"","article_number":"","scientific_assistance":"[]","scientific_review":"[]","version":"","release_date":null,"expiration_date":null,"surveyor":"","research_assistance":"","edv":"","additional_info_de":"","additional_info_en":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
