I am an electrician in Boston and non union. and if anyone knows how it is up here right now the trades are dry. so if anyone knows any electricians in MASS. please let me know. I got a wife and kids that depend on me. hopefully i get something soon thanks guys

Good luck Duke.   The trades out here in the west are just as bad.   My family owns an electrical contracting company - they went from 65 guys down to 2.   Nobody's building anything these days.  Pretty scary out there.

Sorry to hear that Duke. I was in your shoes in mid-June. I was lucky to find something a few weeks back. Bets of luck finding your next gig.
