What these numbers say about plumbing in Lake Charles

The independent share of Lake Charles's plumbing records is close to the Louisiana figure, so the mix of independent, franchise-brand and corporate-owned records here is ordinary for the state.

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.
