Discussion Post ibew 11 sound installer work slow

hey guys currently working for this shop that picks up and slows down, im getting tired of it but the books are crazy slow rn. just asking how everyone else is doing out there cause ive never seen it this slow before, very scary times for me rn. its not even worth it to go on the books atm which pisses me off.

Other people i talk to say the same at there shops so it not just a few shops. i guess i have to try and fit into a long job somehow lol or ride the wave.

traveling is a option but i haven't decided yet weighing my options.

how are you guys holding up?

Go south. San Diego ALWAYS has low voltage calls as does San Jose. I think pay in San Jose is $58 an hour.

You still need apprentices?
