Local economy in 3 reads
  • Moderately concentrated

    Top three sectors employ 65% of the county workforce. Substantial intra-sector overlap among panelists is likely; confirm employer relationships before sector-specific framing.

  • Compressed wage spread

    Highest-paid sector pays only 2.0× the lowest ($75,269 vs $37,297/yr), a relatively flat local wage distribution.

  • Small-business scale

    Average establishment employs only 7.5 workers, a small-business-dominated local economy. Expect more self-employed and small-business-owner panelists than in institutional-employer venues.
