Notes:
1) ~'level of education attained,E*. Social Guarantee/Professional Initiation.'~Since the first quarter of 2003, this  new category E* is included, which groups persons  with basic professional training that allows  for their insertion into the labour market, but who have not reached  the objectives of Obligatory Secondary Education (ESO)  and, therefore, cannot be classified within the category E.
