Local economy in 3 reads
  • Moderately concentrated

    Top three sectors employ 60% of the county workforce. Substantial intra-sector overlap among panelists is likely; confirm employer relationships before sector-specific framing.

    Highest-paid sector (Professional & business services, $165,972/yr) pays 4.0× the lowest (Leisure & hospitality, $41,947/yr). Expect meaningful income variation across the panel.

  • Small-business scale
