Local economy in 3 reads
  • Concentrated

    Top three sectors employ 69% of the county workforce. Most panelists likely share employer relationships within these sectors, surface those connections early in voir dire before any institutional-defendant or sector-specific framing.

  • Wide wage spread

    Highest-paid sector (Financial activities, $73,515/yr) pays 6.0× the lowest (Leisure & hospitality, $12,352/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 5.8 workers, a small-business-dominated local economy. Expect more self-employed and small-business-owner panelists than in institutional-employer venues.
