Nebraska has no state wage schedule; Davis-Bacon applies to federally funded work. Bidders on state work file a statement that they follow "fair labor standards" (Neb. Rev. Stat. 73-104), but no agency publishes rates.
DOL lists 12 electrician rates for Colfax County, from $8.60 to $67.29 an hour. See all of them.
