Electrical carries Lafayette's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 730 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 77 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.
