Construction employment373Everyone working in construction in this county, all trades and office staff. Average pay $1,322 per week. BLS QCEW.
Median year homes were built1966Older stock means more repair, replacement and retrofit work, which is steadier than new build and does not stop in a downturn (Census ACS).

Density and pipeline

55.5 licensed electricians per 10,000 residents; 2.4 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.
