• 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 (Financial activities, $88,586/yr) pays 2.5× the lowest (Leisure & hospitality, $34,908/yr). Expect meaningful income variation across the panel.

• Small-business scale

  Average establishment employs only 9.2 workers, a small-business-dominated local economy. Expect more self-employed and small-business-owner panelists than in institutional-employer venues.
