I do electrical work and have looked at data for my last 3 companies.
reply10 years in you should be a foreman or something is wrong.
Some guys choose to do joruneyman work, but they typically have the option if they're not mute or something. It's a choice ij my experience (They like OT or working alone or hate travel)
replyCorrect. Dozens or hundreds of workers for every manager or foreman.
replyThere's also a lot of owner/operator one-man shops.
Consider the turnover rate as an geometric series.
replyAlso 1 foreman in the electrical field runs effectively 50 guys max if good, and smaller sites might be 10 men to a foreman. I currently have 3 foreman running 5 to 6 guys each at my current company (2 close sites of 3)
