Analyses that mention Šiauliai City Municipality

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.Hospital beds and how intensively they are usedA hospital bed does not mean the same thing everywhere: some municipalities count many beds for a small population, others report none for acute care, and the busiest hospitals are not always the biggest. This analysis compares beds per resident, acute-care capacity, occupancy and length of stay to show what these counts can and cannot say.Mild coast, frosty north-east: a climate mapLithuania is a small and mostly flat country, yet its climate changes noticeably from one municipality to the next. The Baltic coast has mild and wet winters, the north-east has long frosts and more of its rain falling as snow, and the south enjoys the warmest summers. This analysis reads the long-term climate normals to show how large these differences really are.
