Millwright prevailing wage, Luzerne County group, Pennsylvania (4 counties)
L&I sets the same millwright rates, row for row, in 4 counties: Dauphin, Luzerne, Monroe and Schuylkill. Every figure on this page applies in each of them.
$67.92an hour, base + fringe
$44.97 wage + $22.95 fringe benefits · Building
On Pennsylvania public works in each of these 4 counties, a millwright must be paid at least $67.92 an hour: a $44.97 base wage plus $22.95 in fringe benefits.
PPWS county schedules from each county's newest determination (Oct 25, 2026); this rate, effective June 1, 2026. Rates are set per project: the public body gets a determination before bidding, and once the contract is signed its rates "shall not be altered" while it is in force (Act § 4). A determination must be re-requested if the contract isn't awarded within 120 days (34 Pa. Code 9.104(a)). Checked against dliweb.pa.gov on October 25, 2026.
L&I lists 2 millwright rates for each of these counties, from $67.92 to $70.85 an hour. See all of them.
Pennsylvania publishes no county rate schedule. These are the rates printed in each county's newest project determination; the binding rates for a job are the ones in that job's own determination.
Base wage and fringe benefits: $44.97 + $22.95
The base wage is the taxable hourly wage. L&I prints the fringe benefits as one hourly figure, not itemized; it can go to health, pension, vacation and training plans, or be paid as cash where the state allows.
| Base wage (taxable) | $44.97 |
| Fringe benefits (one figure, not itemized) | $22.95 |
| Total hourly rate, as printed | $67.92 |
Davis-Bacon millwright rates in these counties
The counties share L&I's rates, but not always the same federal wage determination. Pennsylvania's Act doesn't cover projects where Davis-Bacon applies, so a job uses one schedule or the other (L&I FAQ).

- A signed contract keeps the rates in its own determination, including the dated steps printed there. A later L&I rate change doesn't reach it (Act § 4).
- County pages here follow each county's newest determination, so they move whenever L&I issues the next one there. The determination is named in the Source line.
