Local economy in 4 reads
  • Diversified

    Top three sectors employ 39% of the workforce, a relatively diversified local economy. Expect mixed employer backgrounds on the panel rather than concentration in any one institution or industry.

  • Moderate wage spread

    Highest-paid sector (Education & health services, $61,715/yr) pays 2.7× the lowest (Trade, transportation & utilities, $23,265/yr). Expect meaningful income variation across the panel.

  • Small-business scale

    Average establishment employs only 8.4 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 $60,303 average in Financial activities is BLS's published figure for 46 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. The $65,467 average in Professional & business services is BLS's published figure for 34 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.
