Carpenter prevailing wage, Eastern District group, American Samoa (5 localities)

DOL sets the same carpenter rates, row for row, in 5 localities: Eastern, Manu'a, Rose, Swains and Western. Every figure on this page applies in each of them.

$6.30an hour, base + fringe

$6.30 wage + $0.00 fringe benefits · SUAS2022-001

On federally funded or assisted building, residential, highway and heavy construction in each of these 5 localities, a carpenter must be paid at least $6.30 an hour: a $6.30 base wage plus $0.00 in fringe benefits, under wage determination AS20260001 (modification 1). DOL prints no total, so $6.30 is our sum of the two.

Wage determination AS20260001, modification 1, published May 18, 2026, for building, residential, highway and heavy construction; rate identifier SUAS2022-001 (February 13, 2019). Checked against sam.gov on October 25, 2026.

These are the federal Davis-Bacon rates for American Samoa, for federally funded or assisted construction. We haven't checked whether American Samoa also sets its own.

Base wage and fringe benefits: $6.30 + $0.00

The base wage is the taxable hourly wage. DOL prints the fringe benefits as one hourly figure, not itemized; it can go to health, pension, vacation and training plans, or be paid as cash where the state allows.

Base wage (taxable)	$6.30
Base + fringe benefits (our sum; DOL prints no total)	$6.30

When this rate changes

A contract keeps the wage determination in its bid documents. Modifications published before bid opening apply to it, though one published less than 10 days before can be left out if the agency finds there isn't time to tell bidders (29 CFR 1.6(c)).
DOL changes a WD by publishing a numbered modification on SAM.gov. This page reads the modification named in the Source line; the American Samoa change log lists what each one changed.
