Local economy in 4 reads
  • Moderately concentrated

    Top three sectors employ 62% of the county workforce. Substantial intra-sector overlap among panelists is likely; confirm employer relationships before sector-specific framing.

  • Compressed wage spread

    Highest-paid sector pays only 1.2× the lowest ($51,994 vs $44,382/yr), a relatively flat local wage distribution.

  • Small-business scale

    Average establishment employs only 7.7 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 $69,643 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 $88,256 average in Leisure & hospitality is BLS's published figure for 6 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.
