Together they employ 5,002 people, with an average yearly payroll of $273,445 per business. The three busiest counties hold 62% of them, so competition is packed into a few places.
With 1,402,054 residents (Census, July 2023), that is one business for every 1,375 people, against 2,855 nationally: fewer residents per business than the US average, so more competition for each job.
