I'm going to say there are only a handful of people making 300k/year at Facebook. Whereas there are a million dumbshits making $120k + at utilities My ex and her brother both work at the local power company and clear 80k-100k. A friend of ours is a meter reader project manager and he makes 130k. They work quite a bit of overtime. If there's a storm + power outage they can make a bunch of money between call out bonuses, meal per diem, mileage, overtime pay... Then you have the guys that actually do the work (are out in the field repairing lines and poles). They are union and make $25-$35/hr in the first place and of course they can get tons of OT. Great benefits package, they were doing pensions up until a few years ago... In general the people that work there work a lot but they make a very comfortable living, especially in a place where you can get a really nice house for $250,000.
