These statistics have a specific section with all the information available: Economically Active Population Survey (EPA).

Methodological note

The indicator measures the employment in high and medium-high technology manufacturing sectors and in knowledge-intensive service sectors as a share of total employment. Data source is the European Labour force survey (LFS). The definition of high- and medium-high technology manufacturing sectors and of knowledge-intensive services is based on a selection of relevant items of NACE Rev. 2 on 2-digit level and is oriented on the ratio of highly qualified working in these areas.

Eurostat removed the indicator in 2020 and Catalonia removed it in 2022.
