2.9.04 Education and Employment: To understand the impact of education
on the nature of employment, an analysis was undertaken separately for the
educated labour force, those up to matriculation and those above matriculation.
One sees a clear impact of education in the choice of occupations but
differentials
between the
regions are
minimal. For
example, those
educated above
matriculation have
clearly chosen to be
professionals of
various types across
all regions with
similar shares in

Telangana and coastal Andhra, followed by trading and business with a slight
edge in coastal Andhra (See Figure 2.33). It is only in Rayalaseema that the
share of educated is also as high as that of farmers at over 23%. The share of
educated in farming is only 10% in Telangana and 13% in coastal Andhra
suggesting relatively better employment opportunities in non agricultural
occupations in both Telangana and coastal Andhra region compared with
Rayalaseema. As educational levels increase, people do not undertake semi
skilled non-agricultural professions as is reflected in low levels across all regions.
