4 The profile index compares the employment shares of each sector of a region with the shares in the whole region (basic region). Some mathematical operations limit the figures
between -100 and +100. Positive figures indicate that the employment structure o f a region in comparison to the basic region (NRW) is more affected by the analysed sector.
Figures around 0 show that the sector structure of region is quiet similar to the basis region.
