Electrician Jobs

Electricians install, maintain, and repair electrical systems in homes, businesses, and industrial settings, ensuring safe and efficient power distribution. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the median annual wage for electricians was $62,350 (or $29.98 per hour) as of May 2024, with the lowest 10% earning less than $39,430 and the top 10% exceeding $106,030.

The BLS projects employment of electricians to grow 9 percent from 2024 to 2034, much faster than the average for all occupations, driven by construction needs and renewable energy demand. Common certifications include Journeyman Electrician (state licensing boards), Master Electrician (state boards), OSHA 10/30 (OSHA), NABCEP for solar (North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners), and EPA 608 for refrigerants (EPA).
