Adroga:
Here in NJ, USA there are a lot of IBEW guys that are more 'off' than 'on', mostly due to the economy.
I'm an AHJ and I can say the Twp I'm in has been steady with work, although the big boom is definitely been gone for 1-1/2 to 2 years. Comm has been tenant fit-outs, and renovations, with very, very new construction, except for a Sam's Club & Fuel Station. I consider myself fortunate & lucky that the Twp is steady with about 4000 permits annually.
The resi is a few new single family houses, and 2 22 unit condo bldgs to finish. A lot of renovation & additions.
What I hear from the EC's and sparkys ranges from 'dead' to getting by, to busy.
