Local economy in 3 reads
  • Moderately concentrated

    Top three sectors employ 64% of the county workforce. Substantial intra-sector overlap among panelists is likely; confirm employer relationships before sector-specific framing.

  • Moderate wage spread

    Highest-paid sector (Financial activities, $82,482/yr) pays 3.1× the lowest (Leisure & hospitality, $26,419/yr). Expect meaningful income variation across the panel.

  • Small-business scale

    Average establishment employs only 9.0 workers, a small-business-dominated local economy. Expect more self-employed and small-business-owner panelists than in institutional-employer venues.
