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

Electrical carries Pittsburgh's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 5,210 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 564 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.
