From: A new measure of skill mismatch: theory and evidence from PIAAC

		Numeracy
		Under-skilled	Well-matched	Over-skilled
Literacy	Under-skilled	0.652	0.305	0.043
		(0.017)	(0.016)	(0.008)

Shares of workers who are under-skilled, well-matched or over-skilled in numeracy by mismatch status in literacy. The numbers sum to 1 by rows. Bootstrapped standard errors in parentheses. See Appendix for details on the bootstrap procedure. Source: OECD Survey of Adult Skills (PIAAC)
