    Highest-paid sector (Professional & business services, $93,967/yr) pays 4.3× the lowest (Leisure & hospitality, $21,962/yr). Stark intra-economy class divisions on the panel; calibrate damages and lost-wages framing to that range.

  • Mixed business scale

    Average establishment employs 17 workers, a mix of institutional employers and small businesses. Both employed-by-large-institution and small-business-owner perspectives are likely on the panel.
