According to the American Society of Civil Engineers\u2019 2021 \u201cReport Card for America\u2019s Infrastructure,\u201d<\/a> the United States received an overall C- grade for the state of its infrastructure. Every spring, the nation\u2019s student bodies, businesses, organizations, and local governments (including federal) receive a report card measuring performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden said that his vision of \u201cbuilding back better\u201d could lead to the creation of \u201cup to 16 million good-paying jobs,\u201d in his May 6 speech in Lake Charles, LA. Biden described it as a \u201cblue-collar blueprint to rebuild America and supercharge our economy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

James Farrell, executive director of government affairs for the National Electrical Contractors Association, is a proponent of the proposed plan. He said, \u201cThe state of our infrastructure is a mess, and we\u2019re at a major disadvantage in terms of its efficiency, quality, and safety when compared to many developed countries. The American Jobs Plan is a very ambitious proposal that will help rebuild and modernize our nation\u2019s infrastructure, and, if this plan or any infrastructure plan is enacted with significant federal resources, it would be a huge boost to the electrical construction industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Farrell said, among its many benefits, \u201cWe anticipate a number of jobs to be created as projects roll out from the infrastructure plan over the next few years, as economic studies show that every $1 billion in infrastructure investment creates 28,500 direct and indirect jobs, providing our economy and American taxpayers with a high return on investment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With more electricians exiting the industry than joining each year, electrical contracting is seeing a well-known shortage of skilled labor. By 2024, as many as 85,000 unfulfilled positions will be available, according to recent forecasts by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. The investment proposed in the plan could lead to between $100- to $200-billlion in electrical contracting activity, along with up to 600 million incremental worker-hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
