Breakdown of non-financial business economy value added and employment, EU-27, 2011

Slide Content

The slide presents data on the non-financial business economy of the EU-27 region for the year 2011, comparing value added at factor cost versus the number of persons employed across various economic sectors. The sectors include Manufacturing; Wholesale & Retail Trade; Professional, Scientific & Technical Activities; Information & Communication; Construction; and several others. Each sector is evaluated by two metrics, allowing for a comparative assessment of their contributions to the economy versus employment levels. This provides insights into sectors with higher added value or employment intensity.

Graphical Look

• The title of the slide is in bold and at the top.
• A bar graph dominates the slide, with vertical blue and orange bars representing different data points.
• Each bar has an associated icon that corresponds to a specific sector of the economy.
• Below the chart, a caption indicates the data source, "Source: Eurostat."
• The legend at the bottom identifies the blue bars as 'Value added at factor cost' and the orange bars as 'Number of persons employed.'

The slide presents the information cleanly, using contrasting colors to distinguish between the two compared metrics. The use of icons helps in quickly associating the data with the respective economic sectors.
