Joel Conner • July 14, 2025

Florida is growing fast. New housing developments, commercial buildings, and renewable energy projects are popping up everywhere — but there’s a problem. There simply aren’t enough electricians to keep up.

🔧 A High-Demand Career With Excellent Growth

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, electrician jobs are projected to grow 6% from 2022 to 2032, faster than the average for all occupations. In Florida, the need is even greater. Recent reports show that the state needs over 6,000 more electricians in the coming years to meet the demand.

This shortage is creating incredible opportunities for those ready to learn this essential trade.


⚠️ Growing Shortage + Aging Workforce

  • Every year, nearly 10,000 electricians retire or change careers, but only about 7,000 new electricians are entering the field, resulting in a shortfall.



🔧 Florida Is a Top Market


💰 Strong Wages & Job Security

Florida electricians earn an average annual wage of $50,000–$60,000, with experienced professionals making even more. Because skilled electricians are in such high demand, you can enjoy strong job security, opportunities for advancement, and the flexibility to work in a variety of settings — residential, commercial, industrial, and even green energy.
