• Concentrated

  Top three sectors employ 71% of the county 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.

• Wide wage spread

  Highest-paid sector (Professional & business services, $88,170/yr) pays 4.1× the lowest (Leisure & hospitality, $21,573/yr). Stark intra-economy class divisions on the panel; calibrate damages and lost-wages framing to that range.

• Small-business scale

  Average establishment employs only 7.3 workers, a small-business-dominated local economy. Expect more self-employed and small-business-owner panelists than in institutional-employer venues.

Five circuits (8th, 9th, 11th, 18th, 19th) are administratively subdivided into East/West subdistricts for judge-residence purposes; the counts here combine both subdistricts.)
