Workahead research
DFW Electrical Contractor Market Research & Outlook
Use dated local evidence to decide what to investigate next: staffing, lead handling, and the customers or projects your shop can serve.
| Question | Reading and period | Next shop-level check |
|---|---|---|
| What does a hire cost? | May 2025 wage median: $28.37/hour; employer burden excluded. | Current role, accepted offer, productive hours, supervision. |
| Does the website support intake? | July 2026 automated sample: 59 of 95 reachable homepages missing at least one detected call/form control. | Manually test the actual call and form route. |
| How did housing approvals change? | 2025 housing units authorized: 66,179, down 7.8% from 2024. | Named current projects, buyer access, scope, and schedule. |
These measures describe different populations and periods. None alone measures jobs available to your company, local market share, or expected profit.
