Local economy in 3 reads
  • Diversified

    Top three sectors employ 53% of the workforce, a relatively diversified local economy. Expect mixed employer backgrounds on the panel rather than concentration in any one institution or industry.

  • Wide wage spread

    Highest-paid sector (Public administration, $62,658/yr) pays 6.8× the lowest (Other services, $9,209/yr). Stark intra-economy class divisions on the panel; calibrate damages and lost-wages framing to that range.

  • Small-business scale

    Average establishment employs only 6.4 workers, a small-business-dominated local economy. Expect more self-employed and small-business-owner panelists than in institutional-employer venues.
