BLS International Labor Statistics

Ever wondered how prices for crude oil tanker freight are faring? No, me neither, but if prices of exports and imports are your thing, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has all the data you need. Also on the site are foreign labor statistics, though only for the industrialized countries. These include labor force, unemployment, consumer prices, and labor costs -- but only in index terms (e.g. 1980 = 100) not dollar terms. Thanks to Jeff Wolf for the tip.
