• Moderately concentrated

  Top three sectors employ 61% of the county workforce. Substantial intra-sector overlap among panelists is likely; confirm employer relationships before sector-specific framing.

• Compressed wage spread

  Highest-paid sector pays only 1.1× the lowest ($42,293 vs $37,622/yr), a relatively flat local wage distribution.

• Small-business scale

  Average establishment employs only 7.5 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 $56,136 average in Financial activities is BLS's published figure for 11 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.
