AI boom drives demand for skilled trades with electricians earning up to $280K

The AI data centre boom is driving surging demand for skilled trade workers, with roles like robotics technicians up 107% and HVAC engineers rising 67% since late 2022, according to Randstad analysis of 50 million job postings. Electricians and welders have also seen increases of 18% and 25% respectively. Construction workers on data centre projects now earn approximately $81,800 annually, 32% more than those on non-data centre builds. Some electricians under 30 are making between $240,000 and $280,000 per year. The US needs roughly 300,000 new electricians over the next decade, whilst manufacturing sectors face severe shortages. These roles typically require apprenticeships rather than university degrees, offering faster workforce entry. However, the work demands long hours in challenging conditions with inconsistent scheduling between projects.

CEOs lower performance targets to protect pay as earnings drop

Companies are lowering performance targets to protect CEO pay packages amid economic uncertainty, according to analysis by Compensation Advisory Partners. The study of 50 public companies found boards set lower targets and wider performance curves in 2024, resulting in CEO pay rising 8% and bonuses up 4%, even as revenue barely grew and earnings declined. Apple exemplified this trend when it set fiscal 2025 targets at or below prior year results for CEO Tim Cook, citing trade policy and economic uncertainty. This guaranteed Cook's $12 million bonus, which the company easily surpassed. Research shows executives who blame external factors for poor results face less accountability than those accepting responsibility. With market volatility and recession fears mounting, more companies may follow this pattern of protecting executive compensation through reduced expectations.
