20,000 Linemen Wanted With electricity demand expected to increase by about a third in the coming decade, at least 20,000 more linemen are needed to build out the grid and upgrade outdated power lines in virtually every town and neighborhood across the United States. It's hard work, requires extensive training, but pays well. The median 2023 annual salary for linemen was $80,000, about $41.50 an hour, not including overtime and emergency responses.
