• Diversified

  Top three sectors employ 44% of the workforce, a relatively diversified local economy. Expect mixed employer backgrounds on the panel rather than concentration in any one institution or industry.

• Compressed wage spread

  Highest-paid sector pays only 1.2× the lowest ($44,381 vs $35,730/yr), a relatively flat local wage distribution.

• Small-business scale

  Average establishment employs only 6.9 workers, a small-business-dominated local economy. Expect more self-employed and small-business-owner panelists than in institutional-employer venues.

• Small-sector pay

  The $57,142 average in Financial activities is BLS's published figure for 35 jobs. With so few jobs, a few high-paying employers or contracts can set the average, so it is left out of the wage-spread read.
