Davis-Bacon drywall finisher rates in these counties
The counties share BOLI's rates, but not always the same federal wage determination. On projects that are also federal, Oregon requires the higher of the state and the federal rate, and the specifications must contain both (ORS 279C.830, 279C.838).
