2024 labour cost survey
Last update
Summary:
STATEC is organising a labour cost survey (coût de la main-d’œuvre – CMO). The purpose of the survey is to collect data on labour costs and working hours.
The 2024 labour cost survey is being organised by the National Institute for Statistics and Economic Studies (Institut national de la statistique et des études économiques – STATEC).
STATEC is a government agency that operates under the authority of the Ministry of the Economy (Ministère de l’Économie) with full scientific and professional independence. It is tasked with collecting, analysing and disseminating data on Luxembourg's economy and Luxembourg society in an impartial manner.
The labour cost survey provides valuable data on labour costs and working hours across different sectors of activity.
The survey is conducted every 4 years in all EU Member States.
Who is concerned
Businesses operating in all areas of economic activity, except agriculture.
A representative sample of businesses is selected based on their sector of activity and size.
