Internationalization increases the danger that foreign companies will use import relief laws against the very companies the laws were designed to protect.Suppose a United States-owned company establishes an overseas plant to manufacture a product while its competitor makes the same product in the United States.If the competitor can prove injury from the imports—and that the United States Company received a subsidy from a foreign government to build its plant abroad—the United States Company’s products will be uncompetitive in the United States,since they would be subject to duties.Perhaps the most brazen case occurred when the ITC investigated allegations that Canadian companies were injuring the United States salt industry by dumping rock salt,used to device roads.The bizarre aspect of the complaint was that a foreign conglomerate with United States operations was crying for help against a United States company with foreign operations.The“United States”company claiming injury was a subsidiary of a Dutch conglomerate,while the“Canadian”companies included a subsidiary of a Chicago firm that was the second-largest domestic producer of rock salt.01.The passage is chiefly concerned with______.A.arguing against the increased internationalization of United States corporationsB.warning that the application of laws affecting trade frequently has unintended consequencesC.demonstrating that foreign-based firms receive more subsidies from their governments than United States firms receive from the United States governmentD.advocating the use of trade restrictions for“dumped”products but not for other imports02.It can be inferred from the passage that the minimal basis for a complaint to the International Trade Commission is which of the following?A.A foreign competitor has received a subsidy from a foreign government.B.A foreign competitor has substantially increased the volume of products shipped to the United States.C.A foreign competitor is selling products in the United States at less than fair market value.D.The company requesting import relief has been injured by the sale of imports in the United States.03.The last paragraph performs which of the following functions in the passage?A.It summarizes the discussion thus far and suggests additional areas of research.B.It presents a recommendation based on the evidence presented earlier.C.It cites a specific ease that illustrates a problem presented more generally in the previous paragraph.D.It introduces an additional area of concern not mentioned earlier.04.The passage warns of which of the following dangers?panies in the United States may receive no protection from imports unless they actively seek protection from import competition.panies that seek legal protection from import competition may incur legal costs that far exceed any possible gain.panies that are United States owned but operate internationally may not be eligible for protection from import competition under the laws of the countries in which their plants operate.panies that are not United States owned may seek legal protection from import competition under United States import relief laws.05.According to the passage,the International Trade Commission isinvolved in which of the following?A.Investigating allegations of unfair import competitionB.Granting subsidies to eompanies in the United States that have been injured by import competitionC.Recommending legislation to ensure fair tradeD.Identifying international corporations that wish to build plants in the United StatesPassage BSince the late1970s,in the face Of a severe loss of market share in dozens of industries,manufacturers in the United States have been trying to improve productivity—and therefore enhance their international competitiveness—through cost-cutting programs.(Cost-cutting here is defined as raising labor output while holding the amount of labor constant.)However,from1978through1982,productivity—the value of goods manufactured divided by the amount of labor input—did not improve;and while the results were better in the business upturn of the three years following,they ran25percent lower than productivity improvements during earlier,post-1945upturns.At the same time,it became clear that the harder manufactures worked to implement cost-cutting,the more they lost their competitive edge.With this paradox in mind,I recently visited25companies;it became clear to me that the cost-cutting approach to increasing productivity is fundamentally flawed.Manufacturing regularly observes a“40,40, 20”rule.Roughly4o percent of any manufacturing-based competitive advantage derives from long-term changes in manufacturing structure (decisions about the number,size,location,and capacity of facilities)and in approaches to materials.Another40percent comes from major changes in equipment and process technology.The final20percent rests on implementing conventional cost-cutting.This rule does not imply that cost-cutting should not be tried.The well-known tools of this approach—including simplifying jobs and retraining employees to work smarter,not harder—do produce results.But the tools quickly reach the limits of what they can contribute.Another problem is that the cost-cutting approach hinders innovation and discourages creative people.As Abernathy’s study of automobile manufacturers has shown,an industry can easily become prisoner of itsown investments in cost-cutting techniques,reducing its ability to develop new products.And managers under pressure to maximizecost-cutting will resist innovation because they know that more fundamental changes in processes or systems will wreak havoc with the results on which they are measured.Production managers have always seen their job as one of minimizing costs and maximizing output.This dimension of performance has until recently sufficed as a basis of evaluation,but it has created a penny-pinching,mechanistic culture in most factories that has kept away creative managers.Every company I know that has freed itself from the paradox has done so,in part,by developing and implementing a manufacturing strategy. Such a strategy focuses on the manufacturing structure and on equipment and process technology.In one company a manufacturing strategy that allowed different areas of the factory to specialize in different markets replaced the conventional cost-cutting approach; within three years the company regained its competitive advantage. Together with such strategies,successful companies are also encouraging managers to focus on a wider set of objectives besides cutting costs.There is hope for manufacturing,but it clearly rests on a different way of managing.01The author of the passage is primarily concerned with______.A.summarizing a thesisB.recommending a different approachparing points of viewD.making a series of predictions02It can be inferred from the passage that the manufacturers mentioned in paragraph1expected that the measures they implemented would______.A.encourage innovationB.keep labor output constantC.increase their competitive advantageD.permit business upturns to be more easily predicted03.The primary function of the first paragraph of the passage is to ______.A.present a historical context for the author’s observationsB.anticipate challenges to the prescriptions that followC.clarify some disputed definitions of economic termsD.summarize a number of long-accepted explanations04.The author refers to Ahernathy’s study most probably in order to ______.A.qualify an observation about one rule governing manufacturingB.address possible objections to a recommendation about improving manufacturing competitivenessC.support an earlier assertion about method of increasing productivityD.suggest the centrality in the Unit States economy of a particular manufacturing industry05.The author’s attitude toward the culture in most factories is best described as______.A.cautiousB.criticalC.disinterestedD. respectfulPassage CIt can be argued that much consumer dissatisfaction with marketing strategies arises from an inability to aim advertising at only the likely buyers of a given product.There are threegroups of consumers who are affected by the marketing process.First, there is the market segment—people who need the commodity in question. Second,there is the program target—people in the market segment with the“best fit”characteristics for a specific product.Lots of people—may need trousers,but only a few qualify as likely buyers of very expensive designer trousers.Finally,there is the program audience—all people who are actually exposedto the marketing program without regard to whether they need or want the product.These three groups are rarely identical.An exception occurs in cases where customers for a particular industrial product may be few and easily identifiable.Such customers,allsharing a particular need,are likely to form a meaningful target,for example,all companies with a particular application of the product in question,such as high-speed fillers ofbottles at breweries.In such circumstances,direct selling(marketing that reaches only the program target)is likely to be economically justified,and highly specialized trade media existto expose members of the program target—and only members of the program target—to the marketing program.Most consumer-goods markets are significantly different.Typically, there are many rather than few potential customers.Each represents a relatively small percentage of potential sales.Rarely do members of a particular market segment group themselves neatly into a meaningful program target.There are substantial differences among consumers with similar demographic characteristics.Even with all the past decade’s advances in information technology, direct selling of consumer goods is rare,and mass marketing—-a marketing approach that aims at a wide audience-remains the only economically feasible mode.Unfortunately,there are few media that allow the marketer to direct a marketing program exclusively to the program target.Inevitably,people get exposed to a great deal of marketing for products in which they have no interest and so they become annoyed.01.The passage suggests which of the following about highly specialized trade media?A.They should be used only when direct selling is not economically feasible.B.They can be used to exclude from the program audience people who are not part of the program target.C.They are used only for very expensive products.D.They are rarely used in the implementation of marketing programs for industrial products.02.The passage suggests which of the following about direct selling?A.It is used in the marketing of most industrial products.B.It is often used in cases where there is a large program target.C.It is not economically feasible for most marketing programs.D.It is used only for products for which there are many potential customers.03.The author mentions“trousers”in paragraph1most likely in order to______.A.make a comparison between the program target and the program audienceB.emphasize the similarities between the market segment and the program targetC.provide an example of the way three groups of consumers are affected by a marketing programD.clarify the distinction between the market segment and the program target04.“the product in question”in Line5,Paragraph2means______.A.“the product in the previous question”B.“the product under discussion”C.“the product on sale”D.“the product in doubt”05.It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following is true for most consumer-goods markets?A.The program target and the program audience are not usually identical.B.The program audience and the market segment are usually identical.C.The market segment and the program target are usually identical.D.The program target is larger than the market segment.Cloze TestMost economists in the United States seem captivated by the spell of the free market.__16__.A price that is determined by the seller or, for that matter,established by anyone other than the aggregate of consumers seems pernicious.__17__.In fact,price-fixing is normal in all industrialized societies because the industrial system itself provides,as an effortless consequence of its own development,the price-fixing that it requires.Modern industrial planning requires and rewards great size.Hence,a comparatively small number of large firms will be competing for the same group of consumers.That each large firm will act with consideration of its own needs and thus avoid selling its products for more than its competitors charge is commonly recognized by advocates of free-market economic theories.__18__.Each large firm will thus avoid significant price-cutting,because price-cutting would be prejudicial to the common interest in a stable demand for products. Most economists do not see price-fixing when it occurs because they expect it to be brought about by a number of explicit agreements among large firms;it is not.Moreover,those economists who argue that allowing the free market to operate without interference is the most efficient method of establishing prices have not considered the economies of non-socialist countries other than the United states.These economies employ intentional price-fixing,usually in an overt fashion.Formalprice-fixing by cartel and informal price-fixing by agreements coveringthe members of an industry are common-place.__19__,the countries thathave avoided the first and used the second would have suffereddrastically in their economic development.There is no indication thatthey have.Socialist industry also works within a framework of controlled prices.In the early1970’s,the Soviet Union began to give firms and industriessome of the flexibility in adjusting prices that a more informalevolution has accorded the capitalist system.__20__;rather,Sovietfirms have been given the power to fix prices.A.But each large firm will also act with full consideration of the needsthat it has in common with the other large firms competing for the samecustomersB.Consequently,nothing seems good or normal that does not accord withthe requirements of the free marketC.Economists in the United States have hailed the change as a returnto the free market.But Soviet firms are no more subject to pricesestablished by a free market over which they exercise little influencethan are capitalist firmsD.Accordingly,it requires a major act of will to think of price-fixing(the determination of prices by the seller)as both“normal”andhaving a valuable economic functionE.Were there something peculiarly efficient about the free market andinefficient about price-fixing-o.Part4:Writing.(30P)Write an English essay of250-300words describing Maslow’s hierarchyof human needs and analyze this model with ONE example.Your writingwill be assessed for language,format,structure and content.育明教育考研专业课第一品牌,考研信息可咨询育明教育官网政治【学科概述】不用因为政治纷繁复杂的知识点而担心政治会不过线,只要肯下功夫,60分是很容易达到的。

Interpretation of statements (continuation of 2-32).1. The schedule in 2-34 can become a Schedule of Cost of Goods Manufactured and Sold simply by including the beginning and ending finished goods inventory figures in the supporting schedule, rather than directly in the body of the income statement. Note that the term cost of goods manufactured refers to the cost of goods brought to completion (finished) during the accounting period, whether they were started before or during the current accounting period. Some of the manufacturing costs incurred are held back as costs of the ending work in process; similarly, the costs of the beginning work in process inventory become a part of the cost of goods manufactured for 2011.2. The sales manager’s salary would be charged as a marketing cost as incurred by both manufacturing and merchandising companies. It is basically an operating cost that appears below the gross margin line on an income statement. In contrast, an assembler’s wages would be assigned to the products worked on. Thus, the wages cost would be charged to Work-in-Process and would not be expensed until the product is transferred through Finished Goods Inventory to Cost of Goods Sold as the product is sold.3. The direct-indirect distinction can be resolved only with respect to a particular cost object. For example, in defense contracting, the cost object may be defined as a contract. Then, a plant supervisor working only on that contract will have his or her salary charged directly and wholly to that single contract.4. Direct materials used = $320,000,000 ÷ 1,000,000 units = $320 per unitDepreciation on plant equipment = $80,000,000 ÷ 1,000,000 units = $80 per unit5. Direct materials unit cost would be unchanged at $320 per unit. Depreciation cost per unit would be $80,000,000 ÷ 1,200,000 = $66.67 per unit. Total direct materials costs would rise by 20% to $384,000,000 ($320 per unit × 1,200,000 units), whereas total depreciation would be unaffected at $80,000,000.6. Unit costs are averages, and they must be interpreted with caution. The $320 direct materials unit cost is valid for predicting total costs because direct materials is a variable cost; total direct materials costs indeed change as output levels change. However, fixed costs like depreciation must be interpreted quite differently from variable costs. A common error in cost analysis is to regard all unit costs as one—as if all the total costs to which they are related are variable costs. Changes in output levels (the denominator) will affect total variable costs, but not total fixed costs. Graphs of the two costs may clarify this point; it is safer to think in terms of total costs rather than in terms of unit costs.2.b.

But the likely cause here isthat the lower-priced titanium was lower quality or less refined, which led to more waste.The labor efficiency variance could be affected if the lower quality titanium caused theworkers to use more time.3.Switching suppliers was not a good idea. The $25,200 savings in the cost of titanium wasoutweighed by the $33,000 extra material usage. In addition, the $33,000U efficiencyvariance does not recognize the total impact of the lower quality titanium because, of the 8,400 pounds purchased, only 7,900 pounds were used. If the quantity of materials usedin production is relatively the same, Better Bikes could expect the remaining 500 lbs toproduce approximately 50 more units. At standard, 50 more units should take 50 × 8 =400 lbs. There could be an additional unfavorable efficiency variance of(500× $22) (50 × 8 × $22)$11,000 $8,8004.The purchasing manager’s performance evaluation should not be based solely on theprice variance. The short-run reduction in purchase costs was more than offset by higher usage rates. His evaluation should be based on the total costs of the company as a whole.In addition, the production manager’s performance evaluation should not be based solely on the efficiency variances. In this case, the production manager was not responsible for the purchase of the lower-quality titanium, which led to the unfavorable efficiency scores.In general, it is important for Stanley to understand that not all favorable material pricevariances are “good news,” because of the negative effects that can arise in the production process from the purchase of inferior inputs. They can lead to unfavorable efficiency variances for both materials and labor. Stanley should also that understandefficiency variances may arise for many different reasons and she needs to know these reasons before evaluating performance.5.Variances should be used to help Better Bikes understand what led to the current set offinancial results, as well as how to perform better in the future. They are a way tofacilitate the continuous improvement efforts of the company. Rather than focusing solely on the price of titanium, Scott can balance price and quality in future purchase decisions.6.Future problems can arise in the supply chain. Scott may need to go back to the previoussuppliers. But Better Bikes’ relationship with them may have been damaged and they may now be selling all their available titanium to other manufacturers. Lower quality bicycles could also affect Better Bikes’ reputation with the distributors, the bike shops and customers, leading to higher warranty claims and customer dissatisfaction, anddecreased sales in the future.7-35 (30 min.)

安徽省对外贸易中的国际劳工标准问题研究
安徽省对外贸易中的国际劳工标准问题研究作者:陈江来源:《中外企业家·下半月》 2011年第11期江(安徽经济管理学院,安徽合肥 230051)摘要:国际劳工标准与国际贸易挂钩已成为必然的趋势,在对外贸易迅速发展的安徽省,由于自身的贸易特点决定其对外贸易将受到国际劳工标准的影响,省内的外贸企业应该转变观念,认识国际劳工标准的重要性,找出积极应对的策略。
关键词:国际劳工标准;国际贸易;安徽省中图分类号:F712文献标识码:A文章编号:1000-8772(2011)22-0255-02一、国际劳工标准与企业社会责任认证贸易自由化是国际贸易发展的趋势,符合世界各国的根本利益,有利于全人类的共同发展。
但是在现实的国际贸易中,一些发达国家凭借较高的技术实力和经济发展水平,以保护人类生存环境和健康为由,通过制定高于国际标准的标准,构筑起更为隐蔽的国际贸易壁垒。
这种以保护劳工权益和企业社会责任的贸易保护主义行为被称为蓝色贸易壁垒,也称为劳工标准贸易壁垒。
劳工标准贸易壁垒的核心内容是SA8000 ( Social Accountability8000) ,SA8000 标准是全球第一个针对企业社会责任的认证标准,其宗旨是“赋予市场经济以人道主义”,即确保供应商所供应的产品符合社会责任标准的要求,保护人类基本权益。
其内容包括:不应使用或支持使用童工;不得使用或支持使用强迫性劳动;应为员工提供安全健康的工作环境;组织工会的自由与集体谈判的权利;不得因种族、社会阶层、国籍、宗教、残疾、性别、性取向、工会会员或政治归属等理由而对员工有歧视行为;不得从事或支持体罚、精神或肉体胁迫以及语言侮辱以及对工作时间、工资和管理等九方面规定。
SA8000标准已经得到了欧美等发达国家的肯定和支持,长期以来,我国一直将蓝色条款问题的关注焦点投向多边贸易体制,而对民间的蓝色条款没有引起足够的重视。
SA8000标准于1997年已经推出,但是在2003年才引起国内媒体和学术界的关注。

就业质量内涵及测量-新增文献
创作编号:BG7531400019813488897SX创作者:别如克*就业质量内涵及测量:基于国际对比的研究田永坡满子会**[摘要] 近年来提出的就业质量这一概念不断被丰富完善,本文借助已有的研究文献,对就业质量的相关概念进行界定并讨论,从国际对比的角度分析就业质量评价指标体系及相关学者对美国、加拿大、欧盟等国家和地区的测量结果。
在总结各国就业质量特点的基础上,针对我国实际情况提出未来就业质量测度的发展方向。
[关键词] 就业质量国际对比实证结果一、就业质量的概念就业质量是对劳动者在就业过程中就业状况优劣程度、各方面满意程度进行的一个多维度衡量,自20世纪90年代以来,一些学者和组织陆续提出了与就业质量相关的概念。
1999年,国际劳工组织(International Labour Organization简称ILO)在第87届国际劳工会议上第一次提出了“体面劳动(Decent Work)”的概念,给出了就业质量的一个初始性定义,认为体面工作是“促进男女在自由、公平、安全和具备人格尊严的条件下获得体面的、生产性的、可持续工作机会。
”①这一概念涵盖了就业数量和就业质量两方面的内容,但从狭义上来说,主要反映的是就业质量的状况,因此被作为就业质量的定义广泛引**作者田永坡系中国人事科学研究院副研究员;满子会系中国政法大学硕士研究生。

欧盟将工作质量(Quality of work)的提升作为社会政策议程的“指导原则”,提出工作质量是一个包含工作特点和广泛劳动市场在内的多维度概念,所谓工作质量即良好的工作,不仅意味着关注和考虑有薪就业的存在,而且关注有薪就业的特点。
国际劳工标准对我国商品出口的影响
题目:国际劳工标准对我国商品出口的影响及对策专业国际贸易届别 2 0 1 1届学号0990********姓名李威指导老师刘宇(讲师)湖北澳新教育专修学院教务处印制2010年11月摘要在经济全球化的浪潮下,国际社会日益重视和关注国际劳工标准。
中国作为世界上最大的发展中国家,必须面对和正视国内的劳工现状,并逐步改善国内的劳工条件,提高国内的劳工待遇。
劳工标准是否应该与国际贸易挂钩、是否应该纳入WT0的多边贸易体制之中?这个问题在发达国家和发展中国家之间的争议由来已久,而且观点各异。
从未来发展趋势来看,在西方发达国家的积极推动下,将劳工标准国际贸易与挂钩已经是大势所趋,而且有着一定的现实和制度基础。
本文以国际劳工标准的内涵与性质及中国劳工现状着手分析了国际劳工标准对中国出口的影响,着力阐述了面对国际劳工标准SA8000我国应采取的对策,具有很强理论和现实意义。

题外:关于SA8000国际劳工标准与我国劳动法的衔接国际劳工标准对各国劳动立法具有很重要的影响。
加入WTO后,我国进入了世界经济贸易的舞台,国际劳工标准将会对我国的立法、社会政策的制定、经济和贸易产生越来越大的影响。
例如,在WTO谈判中,社会条款是否写入国际贸易协议一直是个悬而未决的问题,在这种情况下,许多跨国公司通过制定行业守则来推行国际劳工标准,最为典型的是SA8000企业社会责任标准(社会道德责任标准)。
SA8000的实质是发达国家将国际劳工标准与国际贸易挂钩的产物,其几乎涵盖了所有核心的国际劳工标准,一些跨国公司将SA8000与订单联系起来,不符合标准的则取消订单,这对我国的出国加工企业有很大的影响。
作为外贸出口大国,我国对此问题应当予以足够的重视,并主动应对。
同时,在劳动立法中,注意与国际劳工标准相衔接,对于与我国已批准的国际劳工标准存在差距的方面,应当结合我国的实际情况, 通过修改法律逐步予以完善ISO标准是指由『国际标准化组织(International Organization for Standardization, ISO) 』制订的标准。
美国SA8000标准社会道德责任标准Social Accountability 8000或简称SA8000。
自1997年问世以来,受到了公众极大的关注,在美欧工商界引起了强烈反响。
专家们认为,SA8000是ISO9000、ISO14000之后出现的又一个重要的国际性标准,并迟早会转化为ISO标准;通过SA8000认证将成为国际市场竞争中的又一重要武器。
有远见的组织家应未雨绸缪,及早检查本组织是否履行了公认的社会责任,在组织运行过程中是否有违背社会公德的行为,是否切实保障了职工的正当权益,以把握先机,迎接新一轮的世界性的挑战。
组织年度报告和公司宣传册中关于道德责任的陈述逐年增多,这一现象表明,管理与社会责任相结合的需求日益增大。
尽管许多组织在运营中并无不道德行为,但却无从评判。

For release 10:00 a.m. (EST) Tuesday, March 8, 2011 Technical Information: (202) 691-5654 • ilchelp@ • /ilc Media Contact: (202) 691-5902 • PressOffice@USDL-11-0303INTERNATIONAL COMPARISONS OF HOURLY COMPENSATION COSTS IN MANUFACTURING, 2009Manufacturing hourly compensation costs in the United States in 2009 were lower than in 12 European countries and Australia, but higher than in 20 other countries covered by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (see chart 1). U.S. hourly compensation costs rose about 4 percent from the previous year to $33.53. The 8 countries with the highest costs in Europe were 30-60 percent higher than the U.S. level, but costs in Canada and Japan were about 10 percent lower than the United States (see table 1).Chart 1.

This relationship is illustrated in chart 2, where the bars in the right panel for each country can be summed to equal the bars in the left panel. In 2009, modest increases or declines in hourly compensation costs in national currency combined with depreciations in national currency relative to the U.S. dollar produced declines in U.S. dollar-denominated hourly compensation costs for 27 out of 33 foreign countries.Chart 2.

Further, the concepts and coverage of Chinese statistics on manufacturing employment and wages often do not follow international standards and can be difficult to understand. Largely because of these data gaps and challenges, BLS estimates for China cannot be considered as robust as the manufacturing statistics for the other countries in this news release. 4 For India, BLS estimates of compensation costs refer to organized (or formal) manufacturing only, rather than to total manufacturing in the country. Unorganized sector manufacturing workers account for approximately 80 percent of total manufacturing employment in India and earn substantially less than their organized sector counterparts. For this reason, employers’ average compensation costs in organized manufacturing overstate average compensation costs for Indian manufacturing as a whole.Chart 3.

(2) Directly-paid benefits are primarily pay for leave time, bonuses, and pay in kind. (3) For Mexico, Norway, Republic of Korea, and Taiwan, separate measures of directly-paid benefits are not available.Directly-paid benefits2304050Chart 4 shows the benefit components of manufacturing employers’ compensation costs as a percent of total costs. (See table 3 for data in U.S. dollars.) Economies are ordered based on social insurance expenditures as a-5-percent of total compensation. In countries with the highest ratio of social insurance costs, such as Brazil, Sweden, and France, social insurance makes up approximately one-third of total compensation costs. In the United States, social insurance costs account for about 24 percent of total compensation, while in the Asian countries social insurance is less than 20 percent. Directly-paid benefits comprise pay for leave time, bonuses, and pay in kind. The percentage of compensation that is directly-paid benefits tends to be higher in many European countries (due in large part to leave pay) and in Japan (where seasonal bonuses are a large portion of costs). Directly-paid benefits are a relatively smaller portion of costs in countries such as the United States, Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The total benefits portion of compensation costs can be seen by combining social insurance with directly-paid benefits. Total benefits surpass 40 percent in 15 countries. In contrast, the ratio of benefit costs in the United States is about 31 percent.Changes in this news releaseNew country estimates for Estonia: For the first time, this news release includes data for Estonia. Revised estimates for Mexico: Compensation cost estimates for Mexico in this release are significantly higher due to a change in the primary data source used. This change was made to bring the employment coverage of BLS estimates for Mexico more in line with that for other countries. Additional indicators and time series data: Full time series of compensation costs in U.S. dollars and in national currencies, indexes of costs, and the components of compensation are available at /web/ichcc.supp.toc.htm. Production worker and trade-weighted data: Compensation costs for production workers and for tradeweighted country groupings are no longer shown in this news release. These data are available in the time series tables at /web/ichcc.supp.toc.htm. 2009 is the final year for which updated production worker data will be available.Send us your inquiries or feedback We appreciate your inquiries and feedback.

BLS compensation data permit more meaningful comparisons of employer labor costs than data based solely on average earnings. Definitions of average earnings differ considerably by country and do not include many items of labor cost that frequently make up a large portion of total cost. BLS compensation data include nearly all labor costs incurred by employers. Below is a summary of the concepts used in this release. For more detailed information, see /ilc/#compensation. Definitions. Hourly compensation costs include (1) total hourly direct pay (all payments made directly to the worker, before payroll deductions of any kind) (2) social insurance expenditures (employer payments to secure entitlement to social benefits for employees) and (3) labor-related taxes. The data relate to all employees in manufacturing, including part-time and temporary workers. The selfemployed, unpaid family workers, contract workers, and workers in private households are excluded. Hourly Compensation Costs Total Hourly Direct Pay Pay for Time Worked• • • • • •Directly-Paid Benefits•Employer Social Insurance Expenditures and Labor-related TaxesBasic wages Piece rate Overtime premiums Shift, holiday, or night work premiums Cost-of-living adjustments Bonuses and premiums paid each pay period• • • •Pay for time not worked (vacations, holidays, and other leave, except sick leave) Seasonal and irregular bonuses Allowances for family events, commuting, etc. Payments in kind Severance pay explicitly not linked to a collective agreement• • • • • • • • •Retirement and disability pensions Health insurance Income guarantee insurance and sick leave Life and accident insurance Occupational injury and illness compensation Unemployment insurance Severance pay linked to a collective agreement Other social insurance expenditures Taxes (net of subsidies) on payrolls or employmentMethodology. In general, total compensation for each economy is calculated by adjusting earnings series to include items of direct pay, social insurance, and labor-related taxes and subsidies not included in earnings. For economies for which earnings data are not available on a per hour worked basis, BLS makes adjustments in order to approximate compensation per hour worked. Compensation costs are converted to U.S. dollars using the average daily exchange rate for the reference year.- 10 -Earnings statistics are typically obtained from establishment surveys. Data on the other components of hourly compensation are typically obtained from periodic labor cost surveys, censuses of manufacturers, employer confederations, and other sources. For the United States, the results and methods used differ somewhat from those used for other BLS series on U.S. compensation costs. The statistics are adjusted, where possible, to account for major differences in worker coverage; differences in industrial classification systems; and changes over time in survey coverage, sample benchmarks, or frequency of surveys. More information on exceptions to these methods, as well as data sources used, can be found in “Country Notes and Sources” located at /ilc/#compensation. Data availability. Detailed time series with data for all years from 1996 can be found at /web/ichcc.supp.toc.htm. The compensation measures in this news release are based on statistics available to BLS as of December 2010. These measures may be subsequently revised as data are collected to update compensation measures for submanufacturing industries. Data for sub-manufacturing industries are available at /ilc/flshcaeindnaics.htm.。
