Local economy in 3 reads
  • Concentrated

    Top three sectors employ 78% of the borough workforce. Most panelists likely share employer relationships within these sectors, surface those connections early in voir dire before any institutional-defendant or sector-specific framing.

  • Compressed wage spread

    Highest-paid sector pays only 1.6× the lowest ($61,887 vs $37,768/yr), a relatively flat local wage distribution.

  • Small-business scale

    Average establishment employs only 7.4 workers, a small-business-dominated local economy. Expect more self-employed and small-business-owner panelists than in institutional-employer venues.
