US Department of Labor seeks input from Texas building construction industry for wage survey to establish prevailing wage rates

Summary:

The U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division is conducting a survey of the building construction industry in Texas to establish prevailing wage rates for federally funded and assisted construction projects. The survey aims to gather information on wages paid to construction workers in the Austin and San Antonio areas between January 29, 2023, and April 29, 2024. The survey is open to all contractors, stakeholders, and interested parties, and can be completed online or by mail. The deadline to participate is April 29, 2024. The survey will help the department publish accurate prevailing wage rates, reducing the need for contractors to request additional labor classifications.
