Denmark is traditionally an agricultural country and nearly three-quarters of its land is still used for farming and horticulture although employing only 6 per cent of the workforce.
There has been a marked shift of resources towards manufacturing, the most important industries being food processing, metal and electrical engineering, transport equipment, textiles and clothing, paper, furniture, glass, IT, biotech and brewing. These firms are small scale.

Although the standards of design, styling and craftsmanship are high.
The greatest proportion of the population works in the service sector.

When moving to Denmark, non-EU nationals will require a work permit. Rented housing is scarce and people are advised to try to arrange accommodation beforehand.
The level of management salaries is appreciably higher than in the UK but deductions for tax and social security are higher too.
