(A
Report) Electrical Contractor Inflation - Adjusted
Revenue Up 66.7% From 1992 to 2002!
By Joe Salimando (For Rexel
Electrical)
Every so often, it’s good to stop, look around, and see where you are. It’s not so easy in the world of 2005 – with its wireless this and broadband that. Information moves fast; with a cell phone at your side, you’re never, ever alone. So let’s step back and use the U.S. Commerce Department’s recent (12/29/04) release of 2002 Economic Census data for electrical contractors as an occasion for, if not reflection, at least . . .
