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.

  • Wide wage spread

    Highest-paid sector (Manufacturing, $104,436/yr) pays 4.5× the lowest (Leisure & hospitality, $23,020/yr). Stark intra-economy class divisions on the panel; calibrate damages and lost-wages framing to that range.

  • Mixed business scale

    Average establishment employs 12 workers, a mix of institutional employers and small businesses. Both employed-by-large-institution and small-business-owner perspectives are likely on the panel.
