Local economy in 4 reads
  • Diversified

    Top three sectors employ 35% of the workforce, a relatively diversified local economy. Expect mixed employer backgrounds on the panel rather than concentration in any one institution or industry.

  • Compressed wage spread

    Highest-paid sector pays only 1.0× the lowest ($63,884 vs $62,521/yr), a relatively flat local wage distribution.

  • Mixed business scale

  • Small-sector pay

    The $67,612 average in Professional & business services is BLS's published figure for 28 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 $62,810 average in Financial activities is BLS's published figure for 27 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 $84,568 average in Public administration is BLS's published figure for 13 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.
