$50.43 base wage + $33.38 fringe benefits (supplements) · General construction
On New York public works in Broome County, an electrician working as cable splicer must be paid at least $85.32 an hour: a $50.43 base wage plus $33.38 in supplements. NYSDOL prints no total, so $85.32 is our sum of the two. Part of the benefit is a percentage of wages that this total leaves out, so treat it as a floor.

Davis-Bacon electrician rate in Broome County
Federally funded or assisted construction here uses the U.S. Department of Labor's wage determinations. When a contract requires both the state rate and the Davis-Bacon rate, paying the higher of the two meets both. The contract documents say which apply.
We don't put a federal figure next to NYSDOL's here, because this page leads with a classification the federal determinations don't list one to one. The federal rows for this trade are below; match the classification to the work.
