Local economy in 3 reads
  • Diversified

    Top three sectors employ 16% of the workforce, a relatively diversified local economy. Expect mixed employer backgrounds on the panel rather than concentration in any one institution or industry.

  • Compressed wage spread

    Highest-paid sector pays only 1.2× the lowest ($50,848 vs $43,053/yr), a relatively flat local wage distribution.

  • Institutional employer scale

    Average establishment employs 20 workers, typical of an institutional-employer economy where large hospitals, plants, schools, and government agencies dominate. Expect many panelists to share an employer rather than work for themselves.
