Local economy in 4 reads
  • Concentrated

    Top three sectors employ 70% 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.

  • Compressed wage spread

    Highest-paid sector pays only 1.1× the lowest ($42,054 vs $38,545/yr), a relatively flat local wage distribution.

  • Small-business scale

    Average establishment employs only 5.4 workers, a small-business-dominated local economy. Expect more self-employed and small-business-owner panelists than in institutional-employer venues.

  • Small-sector pay

    The $70,215 average in Construction is BLS's published figure for 1 job. With so few jobs, a few high-paying employers or contracts can set the average, so it is left out of the wage-spread read.
