Local economy in 3 reads
  • 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 (Professional & business services, $74,919/yr) pays 5.0× the lowest (Leisure & hospitality, $15,125/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 7.5 workers, a small-business-dominated local economy. Expect more self-employed and small-business-owner panelists than in institutional-employer venues.
