Local economy in 3 reads
  • Moderately concentrated

    Top three sectors employ 62% of the parish workforce. Substantial intra-sector overlap among panelists is likely; confirm employer relationships before sector-specific framing.

  • Wide wage spread

    Highest-paid sector (Manufacturing, $135,473/yr) pays 7.2× the lowest (Leisure & hospitality, $18,935/yr). Stark intra-economy class divisions on the panel; calibrate damages and lost-wages framing to that range.

  • Institutional employer scale

    Average establishment employs 20 workers, typical of an institutional-employer economy where large hospitals, plants, schools, and government agencies dominate. Expect many panelists to share an employer rather than work for themselves.
