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 />
