Plasterer prevailing wage in Audrain County, Missouri
$28.52an hour, fringes included
One rate, fringe benefits included (DLS prints no split) · Contracting minimum (*)
On Missouri public works in Audrain County, a plasterer must be paid at least $28.52 an hour. DLS prints one rate with fringe benefits included, so there is no separate base wage.
Annual Wage Order 33 (final May 29, 2026), effective May 29, 2026. The rates attached to the call for bids "shall remain in effect for the duration of that particular contract" (RSMo 290.250). Checked against labor.mo.gov on October 25, 2026.
- Sub-title of “Cement Mason”; it shares that title's rate (RSMo 290.257.6).
One rate, fringe benefits included: $28.52
DLS publishes a single hourly figure that already includes fringe benefits. A contractor can pay it all as wages, or pay part as contributions to bona fide benefit plans for the worker, as long as the two add up to at least $28.52. DLS doesn't publish a base and fringe split, so this page doesn't invent one.

Notes on this rate
DLS's notes, in DLS's words.
- * Public works contracting minimum wage: DLS received fewer than 1,000 reportable hours for this occupational title in this county, so the rate is 120% of the county's average hourly wage (MERIC data), not a survey average (RSMo 290.257.2, .4(2)).
