• Concentrated

  Top three sectors employ 66% of the county workforce. Most panelists likely share employer relationships within these sectors, surface those connections early in voir dire before any institutional-defendant or sector-specific framing.

• Moderate wage spread

  Highest-paid sector (Financial activities, $145,121/yr) pays 2.9× the lowest (Natural resources & mining, $50,218/yr). Expect meaningful income variation across the panel.

• Small-business scale

  Average establishment employs only 8.1 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 $195,807 average in Professional & business services is BLS's published figure for 83 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.

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.)
