Construction employment1,144Everyone working in construction in this county, all trades and office staff. Average pay $1,685 per week. BLS QCEW.

Density and pipeline

54.5 licensed electricians per 10,000 residents; 281 licensed holders per 100 estimated workers in the trade; 4.5 apprentices per 10,000 residents. A thin pipeline against an ageing licensed base is how a shortage forms years before it shows up in wages.
