Switzerland, the US and Singapore are the highest-rated countries in the World Economic Forum’s latest global competitiveness index. Australia is ranked 21st out of 137 countries, with the nation performing poorly on a number of key indicators. Australia is ranked 28th in terms of labour market efficiency and 72nd for co-operation in labour-employer relations.
