I don't understand who is getting paid $24 an hour when I paid over $125 per hour to get a sub-panel installed. Could it be that after starting their own company, they found it difficult to hire additional journeymen at the rate of $24 per hour which they themselves had previously earned as a journeyman? When everyone can get $125 an hour, there is suddenly a shortage of cheap labor! Big surprise.

Are you accounting for all the overhead? Commute time, vehicle maintenance, tool costs, having material stock on hand for any and every type of breaker or connector or wire they might possibly need, the time spent on the phone lining up jobs and bidding jobs and everything else. Also retrofitting into older unknown shit is WAY more of a pain in the ass than doing new construction too. So if I have enough work to do 40 hours on new construction, im not even going to entertain something like retrofitting a new panel into an older electrical system unless the pay is significantly higher.
