What these numbers say about electrical in Pittsburgh

By record count, electrical is the fifth largest of the 11 trades this site counts in Pittsburgh, behind plumbing and ahead of cleaning. That ordering is a property of the source data's categories rather than a judgement about which trade matters most in Pittsburgh.

Per resident, Pittsburgh carries more electrical records than Pennsylvania as a whole.

The independent share of Pittsburgh's electrical records is close to the Pennsylvania figure, so the mix of independent, franchise-brand and corporate-owned records here is ordinary for the state.

Pennsylvania publishes no business-level licence source for electrical that a listing can be matched against, so the licensed share for Pittsburgh is shown as not published rather than as zero, and no electrical record on this page is described one way or the other on the strength of a file that does not exist.

No licence issuance or lapse figure is published for electrical in Pittsburgh, so no churn figure appears on this page rather than a zero standing in for one.

The occupational series the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes for this trade counts 5,210 workers across Pittsburgh, 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.

Of the Pittsburgh electrical records that are not independent, 0 are franchise brands and 1 are corporate-owned locations. The two are given as counts and not compared, because records here are still waiting on chain review.

Part of Pittsburgh's electrical records are still waiting on chain review, which is what a name that meets the chain threshold and has not been classified yet is called. While that is true the franchise-to-corporate ratio here is incomplete and is not published as a ratio, and none of those records is described as independent.

More electrical records first appeared in Pittsburgh over the last twelve months than were flagged closed, so the file for this trade and metro grew. A record appears when the source learns of a business, which is a different event from a business opening.
