Local economy in 3 reads
  • Moderately concentrated

    Top three sectors employ 59% of the city workforce. Substantial intra-sector overlap among panelists is likely; confirm employer relationships before sector-specific framing.

  • Wide wage spread

    Highest-paid sector (Professional & business services, $120,469/yr) pays 4.1× the lowest (Leisure & hospitality, $29,458/yr). Stark intra-economy class divisions on the panel; calibrate damages and lost-wages framing to that range.

  • Mixed business scale

    Average establishment employs 15 workers, a mix of institutional employers and small businesses. Both employed-by-large-institution and small-business-owner perspectives are likely on the panel.

Largest employers

Principal employers by headcount

2 of the top 5 employers on this list (2 of the listed 10) are in education & health services, accounting for 2,511 employees on this list. So education & health services is the largest sector by employment here, but most of the city's five biggest named employers sit outside it. A panelist who works somewhere you recognize is probably not working where most of this city works; ask where they work before assuming either pattern fits them.
