Distribution of payment turnover vs. employees by merchant category and NUTS-2 region (Grossregion). Note: The figure shows a comparison between the geographical distribution of card payment transactions by volume (acquiring data set; the figure plots total spending in 2019) and employees in Switzerland (data as per 2018). The data are displayed following the merchant category * geographic region categorization as given by the Swiss NUTS-2 regions (Grossregion), on a percentage basis. On the y-axis, the percentage share of employees working in a specific merchant category of the specific Grossregion are displayed (merchant categories per Grossregion add up to 100%). On the x-axis, the corresponding payment shares are displayed. The colors indicate the respective Swiss Grossregion while shapes indicate merchant categories. The dotted line shows the 45 degree line.
