-->The total cost of employing workers in Japan and America dwarfs that of southern
Europeans, according to Mercer, a consultancy. Employment costs in the EU are 35%
below those in America, and a massive 60% lower than in Japan. Within Europe,
however, big differences persist. Employment costs in France, thanks to huge
social-security and benefit charges, are nearly four times higher than in Greece.

-->Hallo, @Wal, Deine Beiträge verraten, dass Du weißt, dass Dein header zu diesem Posting bestenfalls irreführend ist. Arbeitskostenvergleiche alleine sagen wenig, eigentlich gar nichts, über die Wirtschaftlichkeit.
Mehr zu dem Vergleich z.B. auf Seite 62 und 63 des nachstehenden Bundesbankberichtes.
