How to read this table
Differences between rows allow for an assessment of the workforce composition by qualification. By comparing the share of people with higher education and those trained in middle-level programs, one can understand how the educational profile of the employed population has changed. Since all values are percentage shares of the total number of workers, the sum of the shares by education category totals 100 percent
What is visible in these numbers
Five largest values: Employed – total (100), Employed — Men (100), Men — Women (100), Women — higher education (40.5), Employed — higher education (35.4). The gap between the largest and the smallest is 500 times. The top five account for 61.7% of the sum for all items — the distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
