Skilled Labor is one of the job-family codes the Controller’s compensation data uses. This site groups it under Trades & Maintenance, a citizen-readable family; every figure here is a sum over the source rows carrying this code. Employee Compensation ↗

No dollar aggregate in this file covers fewer than 5 employees. Groups under 5 people are pooled into visible 'Other roles' rows per department; pools that would themselves stay under the threshold are folded into the department total with no row. Departments under the threshold (the Law Library in practice, 2-3 people) are included in citywide totals but not listed.
