• Moderately concentrated

  Top three sectors employ 55% 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 (Financial activities, $68,917/yr) pays 4.1× the lowest (Leisure & hospitality, $16,773/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 9.1 workers, a small-business-dominated local economy. Expect more self-employed and small-business-owner panelists than in institutional-employer venues.

Vintage 2026 kycourts.gov; shaded-bench counts per Wikipedia 'Kentucky Circuit Courts' judge-count map, with the three '6 or more' circuits (16th Kenton, 22nd Fayette, 30th Jefferson) hard-pinned to 6, 9, and 23 respectively per Wikipedia footnote 4. Mid-range single-county metro and exurban-cluster circuits are conservative midpoints; verify against KRS § 23A.040 before relying on exact counts.)
