Local economy in 3 reads

  • Wide wage spread

    Highest-paid sector (Information, $142,558/yr) pays 6.6× the lowest (Leisure & hospitality, $21,660/yr). Stark intra-economy class divisions on the panel; calibrate damages and lost-wages framing to that range.

  • Mixed business scale

    Average establishment employs 13 workers, a mix of institutional employers and small businesses. Both employed-by-large-institution and small-business-owner perspectives are likely on the panel.
