V tej zvezi je treba ugotoviti, da so se povprečni stroški dela vzorčenih družb nominalno povečali samo za 4,2 % v vsem obravnavanem obdobju, kar ob upoštevanju povečanja maloprodajnih cen pomeni realno zmanjšanje za okrog 3,6 %.
It is noted, in this respect, that average labour costs of the sampled companies have increased in nominal terms by only 4,2 % throughout the period considered, which, taking the increase in consumer prices into account, means that they decreased in real terms by around 3,6 %.
