Local economy in 3 reads
  • Moderately concentrated

    Top three sectors employ 62% 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 (Information, $88,498/yr) pays 3.0× the lowest (Leisure & hospitality, $29,154/yr). Expect meaningful income variation across the panel.

  • Small-business scale

    Average establishment employs only 8.4 workers, a small-business-dominated local economy. Expect more self-employed and small-business-owner panelists than in institutional-employer venues.
