Drywall Installer / Lather prevailing wage, Caldwell County group, Missouri (3 counties)

DLS sets the same drywall installer or lather rates, row for row, in 3 counties: Caldwell, Grundy and Harrison. Every figure on this page applies in each of them.

$63.88an hour, fringe benefits included · Lather

One rate, fringe benefits included (DLS prints no split)

On Missouri public works in each of these 3 counties, a drywall installer or lather working as lather must be paid at least $63.88 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.

One rate, fringe benefits included: $63.88

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 $63.88. DLS doesn't publish a base and fringe split, so this page doesn't invent one.
