European Construction Concrete Labour Cost Per Employee FTE by Country

The 2023 data on European construction concrete labour costs per employee Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) reveals significant disparities across countries. The highest costs are observed in Iceland at €83,200, with Denmark and Norway following. Eastern European countries, such as Bulgaria and Bosnia and Herzegovina, exhibit substantially lower costs, under €10,000. Western Europe maintains moderate figures, with the UK notably lower than its Western peers. Year-on-year variation is nil for 2023, while the last five years have shown stability in the cost among major economies, reflecting controlled wage growth.

Future trends to watch include potential wage pressures stemming from skills shortages, economic growth variations, and regulatory changes affecting labor markets. As Europe navigates economic challenges, disparities might narrow, affecting multinational construction companies' strategies in workforce allocation.
