I didnt read the link but I presume you are saying electricians earn £70k typically.
If so, then it is utter rubbish, spouted out by training companies and newspapers.
'More or Less' on Radio 4 did a piece on it a couple of months ago, and gave the true facts. IIRC, a typical wage was £30k ish.
Brickies were supposedly earning £60k, but actually are on £24-28k.
The thinking behind the £70k was they worked 6 days a week at their top rate every week of the year. No holidays etc, and no time off for bad weather etc.
