Local economy in 3 reads
  • Diversified

    Top three sectors employ 51% of the workforce, a relatively diversified local economy. Expect mixed employer backgrounds on the panel rather than concentration in any one institution or industry.

  • Wide wage spread

    Highest-paid sector (Professional & business services, $86,011/yr) pays 4.1× the lowest (Leisure & hospitality, $21,055/yr). Stark intra-economy class divisions on the panel; calibrate damages and lost-wages framing to that range.

  • Small-business scale

    Average establishment employs only 5.6 workers, a small-business-dominated local economy. Expect more self-employed and small-business-owner panelists than in institutional-employer venues.
