• Moderately concentrated

  Top three sectors employ 64% of the county workforce. Substantial intra-sector overlap among panelists is likely; confirm employer relationships before sector-specific framing.

• Wide wage spread

  Highest-paid sector (Natural resources & mining, $45,602/yr) pays 4.3× the lowest (Leisure & hospitality, $10,509/yr). Stark intra-economy class divisions on the panel; calibrate damages and lost-wages framing to that range.

• Mixed business scale

  Average establishment employs 11 workers, a mix of institutional employers and small businesses. Both employed-by-large-institution and small-business-owner perspectives are likely on the panel.

• Small-sector pay

  The $72,927 average in Financial activities is BLS's published figure for 45 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.

1 (Total District Court judges with venue over this county; vintage 2026 txcourts.gov directory + Tex. Gov't Code § 24. Texas's court structure is unusual: each urban county has dozens of numbered District Courts (Harris ~60, Dallas ~45, Travis ~25, Bexar ~25, Tarrant ~20) with trial assignments random across the full bench. Rural counties typically have 1-2 District Court judges sitting on a multi-county district. County Court at Law judges (limited jurisdiction) and Constitutional County Court judges (presided over by the elected County Judge) are separately allocated and not counted here. TX has ~474 District Court judges statewide.)
