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

A median hourly wage is published for electrical, HVAC, plumbing and roofing in Salinas. 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 Salinas, so those rows are blank rather than filled from a neighbouring occupation.

Electrical carries Salinas's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 530 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 55 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. Plumbing, HVAC and roofing follow it.
