KNOWLEDGE INTENSIVE INDUSTRY GROWS STRONGLY IN EU
In 2002 there were 163 million people employed in the EU, of which 7.4% were employed in high tech and medium-high tech manufacturing and 33.3% in knowledge-intensive services (KIS). Employment in KIS is growing strongly in the EU, with an annual average growth rate of 3.1% during the 1997-2002 period. This information comes from a report issued by Eurostat, the Statistical Office of the European Communities, drawn from the latest Community Labour Force Survey (CLFS) data.
