17th Jan - Ahvenanmaa on kallis harrastus




Valtion tulot-menot per asukas sekä työllisyysaste maakunnittain. Selkeä positiivinen korrelaatio - mitä korkeampi työllisyysaste, sen pienempi on valtion nettomeno maakuntaa kohti per asukas. 

Havaintoja: ainoa positiivinen valtiolle on Uusimaa (oikeanpuoleisin piste), ja jostain syystä (raSSismi?) vasemmassa yläkulmassa oleva Ahvenanmaa on valtiolle iso rahareikä siitä huolimatta, että työllisyysaste on saarella erittäin korkea.
