Description of the factor loadings on the first principle component for the subdimensions. Eigenvalues of the first components: ηEducation=1.6; ηEmployment=1.8; ηIncome=2.0. The eigenvalues of the second and third components are below 0.8 in each case. The correlations between the scores of the subdimensions for the year 2019: rEmployment|Income=0.66; rEmployment|Education=0.52; rIncome|Education=0.69. log. = logarithmised, adj. = adjusted
