Local economy in 3 reads
  • Moderately concentrated

    Top three sectors employ 63% of the county workforce. Substantial intra-sector overlap among panelists is likely; confirm employer relationships before sector-specific framing.

    Highest-paid sector (Natural resources & mining, $126,562/yr) pays 3.6× the lowest (Leisure & hospitality, $35,094/yr). Expect meaningful income variation across the panel.

  • Small-business scale
