• Moderately concentrated

  Top three sectors employ 59% of the county workforce. Substantial intra-sector overlap among panelists is likely; confirm employer relationships before sector-specific framing.

  Highest-paid sector (Financial activities, $63,654/yr) pays 3.3× the lowest (Leisure & hospitality, $19,459/yr). Expect meaningful income variation across the panel.
