Prevailing Wage Rates

Prevailing wage rates are listed here. Prevailing wage rates differ by occupation and region. They are generally updated quarterly on January 5, April 5, July 5, and October 5.

Finding the correct rate

Generally, the rates in effect when the project was first advertised for bid will apply for the duration of the project. If the project uses a Construction Manager/General Contractor or is subject to the Federal Davis Bacon Act, the rates may be set differently.  Contact the project's contracting agency or prime contractor to confirm the correct rates for the project.  You can find more information in the Prevailing Wage Rate Laws Handbook.
