Total number and share of employees in technology and knowledge-intensive sectors
16 February, 2016
This map shows total number (size of circles) and share (orange colour in pie charts) of employees in technology and knowledge-intensive sectors in the Nordic Region and the Baltic States. “Employees in technology and knowledge-intensive sectors” includes “high-technology manufacturing” and “total knowledge-intensive services” according to the NACE 2 classification.
The map illustrates not only the absolute concentration of Nordic technology and knowledge-intensive jobs to the major cities and regions but also the high share of technology and knowledge-intensive jobs in the leading cities and regions, such as the capital areas. Within the Nordic region, the smallest shares of knowledge-intensive jobs are to be found in the three northernmost Finnish NUTS 2 regions. The Nordic regions have relatively high share of knowledge-intensive jobs in compared to the Baltic countries (which, in this case of NUTS 2 regions, equate to the national level for Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania).
