Abstract: 

This paper illustrates by means of an important European survey on earnings how user-friendly interactive visualisation tools can be applied to communicate results of official statistics and to connect official statistics to the world of statistics education. The visualisation tools presented are self-contained with built-in methodological comments. They can be used offline on a CD-ROM or as part of dynamic PowerPoint presentations. They might be likewise used online on the Web sites of statistical offices, possibly embedded in virtual libraries, or as an integral part of electronic publications.
