**IBEW Traveler Snapshot — Monday, June 22, 2026** **LU-26 Washington DC** leads on scale at $62.00/hr with 159 open calls — Aarow Electric needs 20 JW at a Springfield VA military base for 2 years, and data center work in Northern VA is running 58-60 hrs/week. Book 1 is nearly clear at just 1 name. **LU-124 Kansas City** ($54.01/hr, 138 calls) is stacked with data center and manufacturing work — Mark One alone wants 31 JW at Google NRD on 5-10s plus Saturday. Multiple contractors on the Panasonic Battery Plant and Google sites round out a strong week. **LU-494 Milwaukee** ($52.73/hr, 160 calls) is paying $62.73/hr ($10 over scale) at the Port Washington Data Center — four contractors are hiring 80 JW combined there, running 50-60+ hrs/week. **Wisconsin license required.** **LU-405 Cedar Rapids** is a sleeper — base scale is $44.48 but every open call pays $10 over at $54.48/hr with double-time OT across multiple QTS Data Center contractors. 137 calls total. **LU-1426 Grand Forks** ($44.80/hr, 153 calls) is worth a look for the per diem play — Parsons Electric is running 75+ JW at Polaris Forge Data Center with $100-150/day incentive plus $100/day per diem. A 2nd shift option adds a 31.4% differential on top. **Overall:** Data center and advanced manufacturing are driving the bulk of open calls coast to coast — travelers with OSHA 10, clean backgrounds, and state licenses have the most doors open right now.
