Correct. Dozens or hundreds of workers for every manager or foreman.

There's also a lot of owner/operator one-man shops.

Consider the turnover rate as an geometric series.

Also 1 foreman in the electrical field runs effectively 50 guys max if good, and smaller sites might be 10 men to a foreman. I currently have 3 foreman running 5 to 6 guys each at my current company (2 close sites of 3)
