These graphs show that a higher level of Internet access penetration contributes towards lowering unemployment and increasing GDP per capita. This generally known fact, which features in many studies (for example ITU - The Impact of Broadband on the Economy/2012) is confirmed here on data obtained from the national statistics published by the CSO.
