What these numbers say about Fayetteville
Other home service is Fayetteville'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, Fayetteville's four largest trades are other home service, landscaping, HVAC and flooring. Other home service alone reaches half of every record on this page.

Fayetteville's three smallest trades are pool, pest control and painting. Between them they still hold a workable share of the metro.
Every trade in Fayetteville clears the record floor a trade page has to meet, so each has a page of its own. That is a statement about how thick this metro's thinnest trade is.
Per resident, Fayetteville carries fewer home-service records than North Carolina as a whole, across all eleven trades summed together.

Electrical is thinner in Fayetteville than across North Carolina, the mirror of the lean above.
Read per resident, the top of the table does not move: other home service, landscaping and HVAC are Fayetteville's three densest trades, and pest control its thinnest.

A median hourly wage is published for electrical, HVAC and plumbing in Fayetteville. Of those, electrical pays the most and plumbing the least.
Cleaning, flooring, landscaping, other home service, painting, pest control, pool and roofing carry no wage figure for Fayetteville, so those rows are blank rather than filled from a neighbouring occupation.
Electrical carries Fayetteville's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 680 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 48 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 and plumbing follow it.
