Cleaning, flooring, landscaping, other home service, painting, pest control and pool carry no wage figure for Sioux Falls, so those rows are blank rather than filled from a neighbouring occupation.
Electrical carries Sioux Falls's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 1,330 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 30 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.
