The 2008 edition of the Eurostat regional yearbook is online!

"The 2008 edition of the Eurostat regional yearbook from the Statistical Office of the European Communities is now available. The publication provides an overview of the latest economic, social and demographic developments in the 271 regions of the 27 Member States of the European Union and also in the regions of the three candidate countries (Croatia, The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, and Turkey) and four EFTA countries (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland).

In which EU region can you find the highest share of the labour force employed in high-tech sectors? Which region has the highest total number of nights spent in hotels? And which region has the lowest rate of road deaths?
The answers to these questions and many more are found in the 2008 edition of the Eurostat regional yearbook. Indeed, the yearbook includes chapters on populations, urban statistics, GDP, household accounts, business structure statistics, the labour market, transport, tourism, science, technology and innovation, health and agriculture. Two new topics have also been introduced: labour costs and sectoral productivity. Read more:
