Laborer prevailing wage in Jay County, Indiana
$48.19an hour, base + fringe
$29.64 wage + $18.55 fringe benefits · Building · LABO0120-001
On federally funded or assisted building construction in Jay County, a laborer must be paid at least $48.19 an hour: a $29.64 base wage plus $18.55 in fringe benefits, under wage determination IN20260002 (modification 2). DOL prints no total, so $48.19 is our sum of the two.
Wage determination IN20260002, modification 2, published May 18, 2026, for building construction; rate identifier LABO0120-001 (June 1, 2025). Checked against sam.gov on October 25, 2026.
Davis-Bacon is the only prevailing wage here (federally funded or assisted work). Indiana repealed its Common Construction Wage Act effective July 1, 2015, and IC 5-16-7.2-5 bars public agencies from setting wage scales (Indiana DOL).
DOL lists 11 laborer rates for Jay County, from $30.19 to $52.04 an hour. See all of them.
Base wage and fringe benefits: $29.64 + $18.55
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) | $29.64 |
| Fringe benefits (one figure, not itemized) | $18.55 |
| Base + fringe benefits (our sum; DOL prints no total) | $48.19 |
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 Indiana change log lists what each one changed.
