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

Electrical carries Columbus's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 480 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 39 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.
