Construction employment403Everyone working in construction in this county, all trades and office staff. Average pay $1,875 per week. BLS QCEW.
Median year homes were built1975Older 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

67.9 licensed electricians per 10,000 residents; 3.5 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.
