| 1: Calendar-adjusted, X-13-JDEMETRA+. 2: It cannot be ruled out that the methodological change (due to the conversion of the data base for the earnings development) as of the 1st quarter of 2022 has an impact on the results presented. In reference year 2022, comparisons with the same quarter of the previous year may be biased as a consequence. It is not possible to quantify the method-related effect. The complete range of up-to-date information available on the labour cost index is provided in the GENESIS -database (GENESIS-Online) (only in German). | |||
