U.S. hourly compensation**** costs rose about 2 percent from the previous year to $34.74 (see table 2).** ** ** ** >From 1997 to 2010, U.S. compensation cost competitiveness in manufacturing** ** improved relative to all but five countries covered: Brazil, Germany, Japan, **** the Philippines, and Taiwan (see table 1).**** ** ** Chart 1. Hourly compensation costs in manufacturing, U.S. dollars, 2010**** ** ** PDF CONTAINS CHART AT THIS POINT.**** ** ** ** ** Changes in a country’s compensation costs in U.S. dollars are roughly**** equivalent to the change in compensation costs in a country’s national**** currency plus the change in the value of the country’s currency relative**** to the U.S. dollar. 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 2010, many European countries had modest**** increases or declines in hourly compensation costs in national currency**** combined with larger depreciations in national currency relative to the**** U.S. dollar, resulting in declines in U.S. dollar-denominated hourly**** compensation costs. In contrast, all countries outside Europe saw**** increases in U.S. dollar hourly compensation costs much higher than in**** the United States.**** ** ** Chart 2.
