Prevailing wages are the wages required to be paid on specifically funded state construction projects. Minnesota's prevailing wage law (Minnesota Statutes 177.41 through 177.44) requires employees working on state-funded construction projects covered by law be paid wage-rates comparable to wages paid for similar work in the area where the project is located.

Please take a minute to answer this short survey regarding the Prevailing Wage Ordinance draft.
The proposed local Prevailing Wage (PW) ordinance would require that construction workers on certain City-funded projects be paid a predetermined wage rate set by the State of Minnesota and based on their specific job duties. The proposed PW ordinance would also require employers to report the wages paid so that wage payments can be verified. Read the draft ordinance here.
This survey will close June 14.
