Minnesota State Prevailing Wage Law

State law: Yes — applies to qualifying state-funded projects
Threshold: $2,500 (single contract) / $25,000 (multi-trade)
Enforcing agency: Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DLI), Labor Standards Division

Minnesota's Prevailing Wage Act (Minn. Stat. § 177.41 et seq.) covers state-funded construction over $2,500 for single-trade projects and $25,000 for multi-trade projects. DLI sets rates by region and craft based on union scales and wage surveys. Truck drivers hauling materials to or from a project site are explicitly covered.

Verify before relying on this: state prevailing-wage laws change. The summary above is a general reference compiled from publicly available state-law materials and is not legal advice. Confirm the current status with the cited state agency or a qualified attorney before bidding or paying workers under it.

Federal contracts ≥ $2,000 in Minnesota must comply with the Davis-Bacon Act. Full compliance guide →
