These are the 10 industries Abstrakt's SDRs call for flooring work, with how many of each are in the Salt Lake City-Murray metro and who to ask for. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Salt Lake City-Murray leans toward colleges and universities (1.58x), apartment and multifamily management companies (1.30x) and commercial property management firms (1.30x). Build the list around those categories. Senior living and skilled nursing and owner-occupied and owner-managed commercial buildings are thinner than the national mix, so treat them as selective targets.
