• Moderately concentrated

  Top three sectors employ 64% of the county workforce. Substantial intra-sector overlap among panelists is likely; confirm employer relationships before sector-specific framing.

  Highest-paid sector (Information, $102,018/yr) pays 3.9× the lowest (Leisure & hospitality, $26,491/yr). Expect meaningful income variation across the panel.
