Labour costs in the metals and electrical industry

With effect from 1 December 2007, CBS has the series of indices
of the labour cost development in metal and electrical engineering
industry (LKM) ended.
Published data, from the start of the series in the
4th quarter from 2004 to the 3 rd quarter of 2006, remain at
StatLine available. The series is no longer updated.

The reason for termination is in quality and
continuity problems arising, inter alia, from the transition in 2006
to another source for labour and wage statistics.

Possible alternatives to the LKM index are indices of the
sets of collective wages and contractual labour costs per hour. These series
are also available on Statline.
