Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to evaluate the educational structure of the population of Slovakia and its educational potential in relation to gross income at the level of NUTS III (at regional level). Trusted information on household and population incomes is among the most important for many economic and political reasons in each country. Revenue data is tracked by multiple sample surveys and the data is analyzed by various methods, which in our case is the definition of the Educational Potential of Society (EPS) indicator from the SODB (Statistical Database of the Slovak Republic) collected every 10 years. The article provides the results of such generalizations assuming there is a statistical correlation between the average gross wage and the educational level within the regions of the Slovak Republic. The analysis of the results obtained with the help of correlation and regression analysis points to the possible dependence between the studied variables, which, on the basis of selected methods, bring a characteristic and coherent picture of the problem under consideration.
