The map shows the overrepresented sectors at the municipal level compared to Nordic average. In the rural municipalities of Finland the agricultural, forestry and fisheries sectors show a strong overrepresentation, much more than can be observed in the other countries; the exception being Iceland, which has a strong focus on fisheries in all but the Reykjavik and Keflavik municipalities. In Norway there is a tendency in many municipalities towards a very balanced industrial profile, but with an overrepresentation of construction, health and social services. In Denmark and Sweden there are many municipalities with a very balanced industrial structure, but also clusters of regions specialised in trade and businesses. In Denmark the very balanced structure seems to be overrepresented by the later (trade and businesses) in the east, and more generally balanced in the west. In some areas in Norway, Sweden and Finland there is also a strong focus on hotels, restaurants and other services – often related to tourism areas in the mountainous regions.
