• Diversified

  Top three sectors employ 23% of the workforce, a relatively diversified local economy. Expect mixed employer backgrounds on the panel rather than concentration in any one institution or industry.

• Small-business scale

  Average establishment employs only 7.0 workers, a small-business-dominated local economy. Expect more self-employed and small-business-owner panelists than in institutional-employer venues.

• Small-sector pay

  The $79,864 average in Public administration is BLS's published figure for 13 jobs. With so few jobs, a few high-paying employers or contracts can set the average, so it is left out of the wage-spread read.
