About This Statistic

Nominal unit labour cost growth; fixed slice freq: Annual [A]; na_item: Nominal unit labour cost based on persons [NULC_PER]; unit: Percentage change on previous period [PCH_PRE]

MapTheory uses only finite ISO-mapped observations from the fixed 2025 Eurostat slice recorded below. Aggregates, missing values, non-ISO geographies, conflicting duplicate observations, and every other year or dimension slice are excluded; MapTheory never imputes or interpolates missing countries.
