About this ranking

Wages, salaries and employers' social contributions divided by the hours actually worked by employees, in euros per hour, for the place where people work (Eurostat regional accounts).

A labour cost measure, higher than take-home pay because it includes employers' social contributions. Price levels differ between countries.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the regions are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
