Labour costs, value-added<br />
and unit labour costs<br />
The differences in average labour costs between service<br />
sectors reflect similar differences in value-added<br />
per person employed, for which the level was also relatively<br />
high in transport and communications and<br />
business services.<br />
Labour costs in market services amounted to some 68%<br />
of value-added in the EU15 in 2001, slightly less than in<br />
manufacturing (70%). This difference, however, is attributable<br />
to the particularly high level of value-added in the<br />
real estate and renting activities, which are not representative<br />
of market services in general. In 13 Member States,<br />
including the new entrants, unit labour costs were higher<br />
in market services than in industry (Tables 26 and 27).<br />
In the EU15 countries, unit labour costs in market services<br />
ranged from around 80% in Sweden and Belgium, the<br />
countries with the highest average cost of labour, to<br />
around 60% in Germany and the UK and only 47% in Ireland<br />
(Table 27). In the new Member States, unit labour<br />
costs were generally lower than in the EU15, except in the<br />
Czech Republic (85%). This country apart, labour costs<br />
