What these numbers say about Tyler
Other home service is Tyler'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, Tyler's four largest trades are other home service, landscaping, HVAC and flooring. Other home service alone reaches half of every record on this page.
All eleven trades carry at least one record in Tyler. The smallest of them here is plumbing.
Tyler's three smallest trades are plumbing, pool and pest control. Between them they still hold a workable share of the metro.

Almost every Tyler 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 electrical, HVAC, plumbing and roofing in Tyler. Of those, electrical pays the most and roofing the least.
Cleaning, flooring, landscaping, other home service, painting, pest control and pool carry no wage figure for Tyler, so those rows are blank rather than filled from a neighbouring occupation.
Electrical carries Tyler's largest published employment count: the occupational series counts 370 workers across the metro, and this site publishes 47 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, plumbing and roofing follow it.
Of the Tyler records that are not independent, corporate-owned locations outnumber franchise brands and concentrate in cleaning; the most franchised trade here is flooring.
Within Tyler, electrical and painting are the most independently held trades and flooring the least.
