In 2023, Norway led Europe in mining and quarrying labor costs per FTE, followed by Ireland and Denmark. Lower labor costs were observed in Eastern Europe, particularly in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Hungary, and Bulgaria. Year-on-year variation was nil; hence, no percentage change occurred from the previous year, indicating stable labor costs.
Looking ahead, factors such as energy transition, technological innovation, and geopolitical shifts could influence labor costs across Europe. Close monitoring of these trends will be essential for adapting strategies in the mining sector and anticipating future cost fluctuations across countries.
