The table summarizes employment and education statistics for eight European countries in 2015. In general, the data is broken down by employment rate, education, and average income.
Among the population with an age between 16 and 64 years old, Norway had the highest employment rate at almost 75%. The UK and Austria followed in the second and third place at roughly 73% and 71%, while Greece sat at the bottom of the list at 51% employment rate. Moving on to the population with a university degree, Norway, Luxembourg, and the UK held the top three spots, with these three countries having more than 40% of their 25-64 year old residents attending college. For comparison, Portugal, with the lowest education rate, only had 23%. A similar trend can be observed in the average incomes, where people in Norway, Luxembourg, Austria, and the UK earned the most. Whereas the average income in Bulgaria, Latvia, Greece, and Portugal was under 10,000 Euro, the average incomes ranged from 23,000 Euro to 42,000 Euro in those four high-income countries.
Based on the provided data, a positive correlation between employment rates, education levels, and average incomes can be identified.
