Local economy in 3 reads
  • Moderately concentrated

    Top three sectors employ 63% 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 (Manufacturing, $105,660/yr) pays 4.7× the lowest (Leisure & hospitality, $22,310/yr). Stark intra-economy class divisions on the panel; calibrate damages and lost-wages framing to that range.

  • Institutional employer scale

    Average establishment employs 18 workers, typical of an institutional-employer economy where large hospitals, plants, schools, and government agencies dominate. Expect many panelists to share an employer rather than work for themselves.
