On an unadjusted basis, the total labor cost index rose to 121.87 in the second quarter, from 119.43 in the previous quarter and 117.38 a year earlier, using 2020 as the base year.

The wages and salaries index reached 122.20, compared with 119.79 in the first quarter and 117.64 a year earlier. The non-wage cost index rose to 120.48 from 117.92 and 116.33, respectively.
