OP was discussed in a thread in r/electricians (a worthwhile sub if you're interested in tradecraft), which I saw last night.
The recurring points I remember were, "then why aren't wages rising to meet this demand"; and "you will feel more benefit from the electrification boom if you're IBEW."
OK, found the link:

- mfer 4y agoThe US is huge and the stat I shared was US wide. Pay is going to be a big regional. There's a ton of data at https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes472111.htm https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes472111.htm There are lots of companies out there that pay low wages compared to others. And they do a lot to make their people feel like they only deserve that amount. Happens across so many fields. I'm sure it happens for electricians and other skilled trades.
