Of the Modesto trades with a measured licensed share, HVAC links to an active state licence most often and plumbing least often. That spread measures how well two files join here, not whether either row's businesses hold a licence.

More trade-covering licences lapsed in Modesto over the last twelve months than were issued. A lapse is a licence that stopped being current, not a business that stopped trading. Both figures come from the state's own status field.

Almost every Modesto record sits inside the state whose licence file its share is computed from, so that share covers nearly the whole metro.

A median hourly wage is published for electrical, HVAC, plumbing and roofing in Modesto. Of those, electrical pays the most and roofing the least.

Cleaning, flooring, landscaping, other home service, painting, pest control and pool carry no wage figure for Modesto, so those rows are blank rather than filled from a neighbouring occupation.

Electrical carries Modesto's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 770 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 79 electrical records here. The two count different things, one an occupation across every employer and the other the businesses on this site, so they stand side by side rather than one against the other. HVAC, plumbing and roofing follow it.
