DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment Standards

Administration, Wage and Hour

Division

Minimum Wages for Federal and

Federally Assisted Construction;

General Wage Determination Decisions

General wage determination decisions

of the Secretary of Labor are issued in

accordance with applicable law and are

based on the information obtained by

the Department of Labor from its study

of local wage conditions and data made

available from other sources. They

specify the basic hourly wage rates and

fringe benefits which are determined to

be prevailing for the described classes of

laborers and mechanics employed on

construction projects of a similar

character and in the localities specified

therein.

The determinations in these decisions

of prevailing rates and fringe benefits

have been made in accordance with 29

CFR Part 1, by authority of the Secretary

of Labor pursuant to the provisions of

the Davis-Bacon Act of March 3, 1931,

as amended (46 Stat. 1494, as amended,

40 U.S.C. 276a) and of other Federal

statutes referred to in 29 CFR Part 1,

Appendix, as well as such additional

statutes as may from time to time be

enacted containing provisions for the

payment of wages determined to be

prevailing by the Secretary of Labor in

accordance with the Davis-Bacon Act.

The prevailing rates and fringe benefits

determined in these decisions shall, in

accordance with the provisions of the

foregoing statutes, constitute the

minimum wages payable on Federal and

federally assisted construction projects

to laborers and mechanics of the

specified classes engaged on contract

work of the character and in the

localities described therein.

Good cause is hereby found for not

utilizing notice and public comment

procedure thereon prior to the issuance

of these determinations as prescribed in

5 U.S.C. 553 and not providing for delay

in the effective date as prescribed in that

section, because the necessity to issue

current construction industry wage

determinations frequently and in large

volume causes procedures to be

impractical and contrary to the public

interest.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

The Occupational Employment

Statistics (OES) survey is a Federal/State

establishment survey of wage and salary

workers designed to produce data on

current occupational employment and

wages. OES survey data assist in the

development of employment and

training programs established by the

Workforce Investment Act of 1998, the

Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) of

1982, and the Perkins Vocational

Education Act of 1984.

The OES program operates a periodic

mail survey of a sample of non-farm

establishments conducted by all fifty

States, Guam, Puerto Rico, the District

of Columbia, and the Virgin Islands.

Over three-year periods, data on

occupational employment and wages

are collected by industry at the two- and

three-digit Standard Industrial

Classification (SIC) levels. The U.S.

Department of Labor also uses OES data

in the administration of the Alien Labor

Certification process under the

Immigration Act of 1990.
