I was wondering what the deal was with northern Sweden. Is there any substantial economic activity there? Maybe mining?

It’s a lot of mines, server halls, water power, wind farms, factories, refineries and a shitton of logging.

Not that any of the population sees a dime of that “GDP per capita”.

I would be very interested to a similar map with workers wages, it would be very illuminating

Idk i know people who work in retail there and earn a lot of money. Even more if youre a doctor for example. The gdp still doesnt reflect the income but theres a pretty big boost so the people wont just move to a warmer place. Also the sami people are usually the ones that get the worse jobs but thats a problem for another day.
