Data notes & caveats
The percentage is manufacturing employment as a share of business-economy employment. The page retains all 11 eligible Greek regions, while the graphic focuses on 11. Eurostat did not publish a sufficiently reliable value for 2 additional Greek regions, so they are outside this comparison.
Methodology
Eurostat’s 2025 Regional Yearbook supplies manufacturing employment as a share of business-economy employment for the included Greek regions. All values use the common 2022 reference period and percent of business-economy employment basis, and are ordered highest to lowest using unrounded figures. Eurostat did not publish a sufficiently reliable value for 2 additional Greek regions.
Source consistency notes
All included values use the same Eurostat source family, 2022 reference period, regional level and percent of business-economy employment basis. No Greek area is supplemented from another source family.
