What these numbers say about Springfield

Other home service is Springfield's largest trade, and more than half of every record this site holds here sits in it. It holds more than three times as many records as landscaping, the next largest.

In order, Springfield's four largest trades are other home service, landscaping, HVAC and roofing. Other home service alone reaches half of every record on this page.

All eleven trades carry at least one record in Springfield. The smallest of them here is pool.

Per resident, Springfield sits close to the Missouri rate, so the counts here read as ordinary for the state.

Pest control takes a larger share of Springfield than of Missouri, which is the clearest way this metro's mix departs from its state's.

Even Springfield's thinnest trade against Missouri, painting, sits close to the state share.

Read per resident, the top of the table does not move: other home service, landscaping and HVAC are Springfield's three densest trades, and pest control its thinnest.

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

Electrical carries Springfield's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 1,040 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 71 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.
