Construction employment330Everyone working in construction in this county, all trades and office staff. Average pay $964 per week. BLS QCEW.
Median year homes were built1997Older stock means more repair, replacement and retrofit work, which is steadier than new build and does not stop in a downturn (Census ACS).

14.8 licensed electricians per 10,000 residents; 7.7 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.
