Work Environment vs. Education
This chart illustrates the highest level of education achieved by participants in various working environments. The size of the circle is relative to the percentage of respondents with each level of education. Not surprisingly, more people with advanced degrees work in academic settings, while the freelance world has a wider range of people with all types of degrees.
-
Company Size vs. Medical Benefits
These squares represent six levels of company size according to how many people they employ. Within each square is the percentage of employees at companies of that size that reported receiving medical benefits through their employer. As we suspected, larger companies are more likely to offer their employees medical insurance.
