The labour cost per employee FTE in France's quarrying sector specializing in ornamental and building stone, limestone, gypsum, chalk, and slate is forecasted to gradually increase from 64.0 thousand euros in 2024 to 64.6 thousand euros in 2028. Given that 2023 data is not provided, precise past variations are unclear. However, from 2024 onwards, the year-on-year increase in labor costs is consistently modest, averaging about 0.1% to 0.3% annually. This stability suggests slow, predictable growth in this sector's labour expenses, reflecting potential stable demand and employment conditions.
Future trends to monitor include potential workforce skill demands influenced by technological advancements and sustainability initiatives, which could impact labor costs or shift sector dynamics. External economic factors or policy changes within the EU may also influence cost adjustments or investment levels in quarrying operations.
