Local economy in 3 reads
  • Concentrated

    Top three sectors employ 78% 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 (Construction, $81,188/yr) pays 3.7× the lowest (Leisure & hospitality, $22,231/yr). Expect meaningful income variation across the panel.

  • Institutional employer scale

    Average establishment employs 22 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.
