What this number is, and what it is not

It is the average of the entire payroll of that kind of business, split across everyone on it: the helper who started yesterday, the twenty-year veteran, and the person running the office. An experienced worker earns more than the average for their line; someone starting out, less.

Rows marked group are groups because the government does not publish plumbing, electrical and HVAC separately at the county level. We would rather say so than invent the breakdown.

Trades where the government hides the pay — because there are few employers and you could tell who we mean — are left out instead of shown as zero.
