Furthermore, the reductions under common staff costs reflect both the realized vacancy rates described above and the lower than budgeted actual rate of common staff costs ( 5,526,400).

Likewise, increasing pressure from growing labor costs will force enterprises to lower their profit expectations and cut costs, negatively affecting output growth and employment in the short run.
