Connecticut State Prevailing Wage Law
Connecticut requires prevailing wages on public works contracts exceeding $1 million for new construction or $100,000 for remodeling under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 31-53. The state DOL publishes rates that often track local collective-bargaining agreements. Both federal and state rates can apply on the same project — contractors must pay the higher of the two for each trade.
