It was business as usual for self-employed electricians during February, with earnings up £108 per week compared to January.
“Demand for electrical sub-contractors has been strongest in the East of England and the West Midlands, with weekly earnings of £1,338 and £1,207 respectively,” says Hudson Contract Managing Director Ian Anfield.
“Overall, rates are up 10.6% compared to January, which is indicative of the construction industry powering up again after an extended Christmas break.”
The only exception is in the South-West, where earnings slumped again, from £761 in January to £644 in February.
“It’s definitely a tough time for electricians in this part of the country. In fact, earnings here are at their lowest since January 2017. Being self-employed, earnings are all about supply and demand, so it seems that, a number of projects in the region have come to an end, without any replacement work waiting to take up the slack.”
Hudson Contract, founded in 1996, is a Construction Industry Scheme payroll provider, delivering an accurate indication of sub-contractor pay trends across the construction industry, using payroll data for more than 2,200 UK construction companies.
