  1. aSkills refers to the relative importance of an occupation-defining skill in a given year
  2. The data are categorised according to the wage-based skill level classification of Goos et al. (2014) (Goos et al. Skill Levels) and the skill levels of the ILO classification based on the ISCO-08 two-digit submajor groups (ILO Skill Levels). For comparability, the ILO skill levels are reduced to three skill levels (high, medium and low)
