Local economy in 4 reads
  • Diversified

    Top three sectors employ 51% of the workforce, a relatively diversified local economy. Expect mixed employer backgrounds on the panel rather than concentration in any one institution or industry.

  • Compressed wage spread

    Highest-paid sector pays only 1.5× the lowest ($60,973 vs $39,459/yr), a relatively flat local wage distribution.

  • Small-business scale

    Average establishment employs only 7.5 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 $55,828 average in Professional & business services is BLS's published figure for 47 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.
