• Moderately concentrated

  Top three sectors employ 65% of the county workforce. Substantial intra-sector overlap among panelists is likely; confirm employer relationships before sector-specific framing.

• Moderate wage spread

  Highest-paid sector (Public administration, $73,742/yr) pays 2.6× the lowest (Leisure & hospitality, $28,820/yr). Expect meaningful income variation across the panel.

• 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.
