This paper here analyzes, across European countries, the relationship between labour and technological innovation determinants also considering the interaction with the structural indicator of the public debt. The main findings are: the fruitful effect of education public expenditure and R&D spending on employment rate, whereas an increase of general government consolidated gross debt has a negative effect for employment rate as well as for technology proxies. Empirical evidence provides some elements to discuss main economic policy implications from relationships between observed facts.
