• 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.

• Wide wage spread

  Highest-paid sector (Trade, transportation & utilities, $68,786/yr) pays 4.6× the lowest (Leisure & hospitality, $14,879/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 4.7 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 $65,491 average in Financial activities is BLS's published figure for 42 jobs. 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.
