Analyses that mention Vilkaviškis District Municipality

Forests, fields and built-up land in LithuaniaForests, fields and buildings divide the land of Lithuania's municipalities very unevenly: some are mostly woodland, others mostly farmland, and a handful of cities are mostly built surface. This analysis reads the land-cover shares, then asks whether built-up land has followed the population or kept growing in places where residents have left.Where the jobs are: openings, pay and companiesJob openings, advertised pay and company registrations do not point to the same places. Regional cities offer the most vacancies for the size of their population, the capital dominates the creation of companies, and a few municipalities in the south combine thin demand with low pay and notices that often stay unfilled. This analysis compares the three pictures.
