Education is one of the critical aspects of getting a better job and having higher wages. Most studies conclude that education raises wages and leads to better employment opportunities. The literature review shows that various factors affect employment and salary. Still, the scope of this study is investigating only relationships between the Educational Attainment Index (EAI) and employment indicators and wages in the statistical regions of Latvia using only available official statistical data. To evaluate the education level of individuals, the highest educational level attained is considered. The Educational Attainment Index (EAI) was developed and calculated to evaluate educational attainment. The study results show that the highest education level is in Riga and Pieriga statistical regions. In those regions, it is above the average. The correlation analysis shows a strong positive correlation between education attainment, number of employed persons, and wages. Although education plays a vital role in employment and salary, a more detailed analysis is required to evaluate aspects of labour supply and entrepreneurs' requirements that affect labour demand.
