How to read this table

Compare rows by the share of employed persons in various activities. For example, the share in agriculture may differ significantly from that in trade or construction. Note the 'Rural population' column, which shows the number of informally employed persons living in rural areas, helping to assess regional labor market characteristics

What is visible in these numbers

The figures are index or percentage values, so they cannot be added up across rows: each one is measured against its own base.
