Overall, younger people had higher employment rates than the older age group in both years. Also, people with higher levels of education were more likely to be employed. There was a general increase in employment rates from 2005 to 2015 for most categories.
In the 25 to 34 age group, people with post-secondary non-tertiary and tertiary education had the highest employment rates in both years, with figures close to 85%. Those with upper secondary education were slightly lower, while the lowest rates were seen in people with below upper secondary education, around 70% in 2005 and slightly lower in 2015.
For the older age group (55 to 64), employment rates were lower in 2005 across all levels. People with below upper secondary education had about 45% employment in 2005, while those with tertiary education had close to 65%. In 2015, all levels improved, especially for those with higher education, with tertiary-educated individuals reaching around 70%.
