I would actually be interested to see something like this for Australia, i think that you would find some very different outcomes.
For example the article mentions Health insurance has been at number 1 for 20 years. In Australia this would not even be in the listing at all, as it is generally something business do not offer their employees. However other things like fuel costs, energy costs, and such i think would rank high in Australia. As well as potentially borrowing costs, as we have seen interest rates being driven by the banks increasing rates without the official rate moving. It really would be interesting to see some country comparisons for this type of thing, just to see how different cultures affect the things to do with business.
