Having a lot more electricians is not necessarily a bad thing. I've seen some estimates of the number of new electricians the US would need in order to handle the electrification of the country if we want to stave off further climate change, and it was in the tens of millions.
This number will be very difficult to achieve, but that does mean that being an electrician should continue to be a good job for quite a long time, even if lots of new people go into it.
- akoboldfrying 3y ago>in the tens of millions That sounds... high. There are about 350 million people in the USA (from memory, so this figure is probably low), so even if there were just 10 million electricians, it would mean 1 in 35 people needs to be an electrician. If you exclude children and retired people, that proportion will go up further.
