What's a journeyman? What's an apprentice? :grin: :grin:
There is no ratio in this state. No one is required to be either a journeyman nor an apprentice to do electrical work. The only requirement is for the owner or sponsor to hold an electrical contractors license.
Things are kind of wide open.

here a journeyman is an electrician who gain 8000hrs applies for the jm test and passes with a 70% and an apprentice is anyone who applies for the apprentice license. like i said early we have a 1:2 ratio. unfortunately is is not upheld like it should be and some of the work shows. it is too, bad that the craftmanship is going out of the trade. We had to remove some lights that were installed about a year ago , and reinstall them for a new grid ceiling that was put in. instead of bushings being used to in the 1/2" ko there was black tape installed around the edge of the hole.

Texas is 1 JW to infinite apprentices and by apprentices. There is no state requirement for an "apprentice" to be in a registered apprentice program either, so anyone can get an apprentice license regardless of whether they are in a registered apprentice program or not. It is a free-for-all that keeps wages low.

The IBEW has ratios in their contracts, typically 1 to 1 or perhaps 3 JW to 2 app or such, but the state law is what I am talking about. I wish they would do something a little more stringent.

To me it makes no sense to have such a rigid ratio. An apprentice in his third year probably does not require anywhere near one in his first month.
IIRC, the contract the UAW has is 1:1 for all trades.
