• Diversified

  Top three sectors employ 54% of the workforce, a relatively diversified local economy. Expect mixed employer backgrounds on the panel rather than concentration in any one institution or industry.

• Small-business scale

  Average establishment employs only 5.0 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 $43,815 average in Natural resources & mining is BLS's published figure for 48 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 $49,180 average in Construction is BLS's published figure for 4 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.
