The countries with the highest incomes are Norway, Luxemborg, Austria and UK respectively. Norway has the highest level of employment, education and income of the eight countries. Luxemborg has the fifth highest employment rate and the third highest education level and second highest average income.
The countries with the lowest incomes Bulgaria, Latvia, Greece and Portugal respectively.In Bulgaria, with a higher than average level of employment and level of education approximately 20% earns the least income.
