What these numbers say about Amarillo
Other home service is Amarillo'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, Amarillo'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 Amarillo. The smallest of them here is pool.
Amarillo's three smallest trades are pool, pest control and flooring. Between them they still hold a workable share of the metro.
One Amarillo trade, pool, falls below the record floor a trade page has to clear, so it is answered on this page instead. Its count in the table is unchanged.
Per resident, Amarillo sits close to the Texas rate, so the counts here read as ordinary for the state.
Against Texas's own mix, Amarillo is heaviest in painting: that trade takes a far larger share of this metro than of the state.
Cleaning is thinner in Amarillo than across Texas, the mirror of the lean above.
Read per resident, the top of the table does not move: other home service, landscaping and HVAC are Amarillo's three densest trades, and pest control its thinnest.
Of the Amarillo trades with a measured licensed share, HVAC links to an active state licence most often and electrical least often. That spread measures how well two files join here, not whether either row's businesses hold a licence.
No licence issuance or lapse figure is published for Amarillo, so no churn figure appears here rather than a zero standing in for one.
Almost every Amarillo record sits inside the state whose licence file its share is computed from, so that share covers nearly the whole metro.
A median hourly wage is published for plumbing, electrical and HVAC in Amarillo. Of those, plumbing pays the most and HVAC the least.
Cleaning, flooring, landscaping, other home service, painting, pest control, pool and roofing carry no wage figure for Amarillo, so those rows are blank rather than filled from a neighbouring occupation.
Electrical carries Amarillo's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 750 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 39 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 and HVAC follow it.
Amarillo's franchise-brand and corporate-owned records are close to even. The franchised ones concentrate in flooring and the corporate-owned ones in pest control.
Within Amarillo, electrical and painting are the most independently held trades and flooring the least.
Almost none of Amarillo's records are waiting on chain review, so the independent, franchise and corporate counts here describe nearly the whole metro. Pest control holds what little of that bucket the metro has.
Landscaping is the Amarillo trade whose records most often carry no street address, and roofing the one whose records most often do. What a blank street line means is set out on the methodology page.
More Amarillo records first appeared over the last twelve months than were flagged closed, so the file for this metro grew. Roofing added the largest share of them, and no record here was flagged closed in that window.

Amarillo, TX sits inside Texas alone, so the labour market this page counts and the licensing regime that governs it are the same geography.
