Similarly I would guess Westchester probably has more lawyers and so on in the PMC mix than say Fairfield or Morris counties.

In the NYC area it's basically Manhattan employment vs. non-Manhattan employment. If you work in Manhattan you need to be near transit, and Westchester probably has the best transit of any traditional suburban county.
So, yeah, Westchester (and probably Fairfield, Nassau, and Essex) will have more Manhattan-centric employment profile than other wealthy suburban counties. Heavy finance, law, consulting, advertising, focus.
No reason to pay a premium if you don't commute into the city, so if you're a doctor in a suburban hospital or pharmaceutical executive in some suburban office park, no reason to live in a railroad suburb.
