• Moderately concentrated

  Top three sectors employ 58% of the county workforce. Substantial intra-sector overlap among panelists is likely; confirm employer relationships before sector-specific framing.

  Highest-paid sector (Information, $155,136/yr) pays 4.3× the lowest (Leisure & hospitality, $35,779/yr). Stark intra-economy class divisions on the panel; calibrate damages and lost-wages framing to that range.

• Mixed business scale

  Average establishment employs 13 workers, a mix of institutional employers and small businesses. Both employed-by-large-institution and small-business-owner perspectives are likely on the panel.
