Local economy in 4 reads
  • Diversified

    Top three sectors employ 11% 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 2.0× the lowest ($87,639 vs $44,437/yr), a relatively flat local wage distribution.

  • Institutional employer scale

    Average establishment employs 54 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.

  • Small-sector pay

    The $104,131 average in Public administration is BLS's published figure for 19 jobs. With so few jobs, a few high-paying employers or contracts can set the average, so it is left out of the wage-spread read.
