The businesses that compete for customers in Lawler

The Census counted 27 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 52154, which includes Lawler and its surroundings.

Chickasaw County as a whole had 353 employer establishments in 2023 and another 951 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Chickasaw County has four times the national share of trucking companies: 28 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, shippers and brokers vet carriers, so the website should show lanes and regions, equipment, authority and insurance details and a quote form. Next on the list: nondurable goods wholesalers, 17 of them, at 3.4 times the national share.
