Prevailing Wage (PW) is defined as the hourly wage, usual benefits, and overtime paid in the largest city in each county to the majority of workers, laborers, and mechanics. Prevailing Wages are established by the Department of Labor & Industries for each trade and occupation employed in the performance of public work. They are established separately for each county and are reflective of local wage conditions.
