Sector-Wide Increase

Employers in Germany's industry and service sectors have been experiencing a rise in labor costs, with the average hourly wage reaching 3950 euros.

The increase in labor costs has been attributed to a combination of factors, including:

*

Skill shortages in certain sectors

*

Increased demand for labor

*

Collective bargaining agreements

The rise in labor costs is expected to continue in the coming years, as the demand for skilled workers remains high and the cost of living continues to rise.
