Construction employment365Everyone working in construction in this county, all trades and office staff. Average pay $925 per week. BLS QCEW.

Density and pipeline

6.7 licensed electricians per 10,000 residents; 0.7 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.
