Survey Says: Who Industrial Electricians Work For

Probably most of us already have noticed the effect of an AC inrush current in our homes – e.g. when the refrigerator, power tools, vacuum cleaner or the air conditioner turn on.
The median pay for an apprentice electrician in Fort McMurray is $26,000 above the national average, while on the opposite end a peer in Saskatoon earns $10,000 below the national average.
The Minister acknowledged the minimum wage increase will have a direct impact on apprentices and industry employers for those trades whereby wages are based on a percentage of the provincial
minimum wage.
We’ve all done it. Spent considerable time working on a key document or spreadsheet only to forget where we saved it, and had to start again. Or gone to ask for advice from a subject matter expert in the company only to realize he /she has retired — along with the 30 years of tacit knowledge in their head that’s not all captured “in the files.”
These are not strategic lottery numbers, street addresses or some sort of “find the next number in the series” internet math question. They will mean nothing to you, although I hope that changes as you read these next paragraphs.
The total value of building permits in Canada advanced 8.6% to $10.7 billion in February, indicating robust intentions for both the residential (+7.9% to $6.6 billion) and non-residential (+9.8% to $4.2 billion) sectors.
