Value added per employed person in Oslo was 23 per cent above the average for Mainland Norway. This is because of the industrial structure in Oslo: industries with above average value added per employed person are heavily represented in the capital city. 

Rogaland was seven per cent above the national average. This is due to contributions from oil-related activity. These industries had high levels of value added per employed person. Together, these two industries constituted roughly one-fifth of Rogaland’s gross value added. 

Akershus and Hordaland had three per cent higher value added per employed person than the national average. These counties have similar industries as the capital. On the other hand, Møre og Romsdal had one per cent higher value added per employed person than the national average. Manufacturing industries are well represented in this county and manufacturing constituted 17 per cent of Møre og Romsdal’s gross value added. 

The lowest value added per employed person was found in Oppland, Nord-Trøndelag and Hedmark. These counties were between 17 and 20 per cent below the national average. 

These counties all have relatively high proportions of government services. General government accounted for over 30 per cent of the counties’ value added. In comparison, for the country as a whole, general government constituted about a quarter of total value added. 

Value added in general government is conventionally calculated without including return to capital, which is included in market output. This means that the value added per employed person in general government will be lower than, for example, private services. 

As is the case with value added per employed person, Oslo had the highest disposable income per capita. The capital city was 9 per cent above the national average, and disposable income per capita was almost NOK 266 000.
