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.

  • Wide wage spread

    Highest-paid sector (Public administration, $131,234/yr) pays 5.8× the lowest (Leisure & hospitality, $22,577/yr). Stark intra-economy class divisions on the panel; calibrate damages and lost-wages framing to that range.

  • Institutional employer scale

    Average establishment employs 20 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.
