• Moderately concentrated

  Highest-paid sector (Education & health services, $55,368/yr) pays 3.2× the lowest (Leisure & hospitality, $17,428/yr). Expect meaningful income variation across the panel.

  Average establishment employs only 6.7 workers, a small-business-dominated local economy. Expect more self-employed and small-business-owner panelists than in institutional-employer venues.
