How much work is in Spotsylvania County

Density and pipeline

22.6 licensed electricians per 10,000 residents; 149 licensed holders per 100 estimated workers in the trade; 9.7 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.
