I was looking at having some work done on some houses. Gererally
speaking, what's the ratio of parts -vs- labor in the building trades?
Typical inprovements I'm looking at include electrical, plumbing and
carpentry.

There is no relationship between parts and labor. It depends entirely on
how much work is involved and how much the parts cost. Keep in mind that
the pro is going to sell you the parts at a profit, so their earnings are
not just from labor.
One job might be 90% parts, 10% labor, and another job might be 10% parts,
90% labor.

Where we are in New England, plumbers and electricians run $65 to $80. The
carpenter we used was only $40 but that was exceptional, most are $50.
As for ratio of parts versus labor, that is so dependent on the work it is
impossible to give a ratio. I recently paid 200 hours of electrical labor
with NO material cost at all Last week I paid 2 hours of labor but had
$3500 in material.

It typically ranges from about 10% vs 90% to about 90% vs 10%,
although some jobs it will fall outside those ratios.

So, your answer is yes, no, definitely, maybe, always, and never?
