Davis-Bacon Prevailing Wages in Missouri
Select a county to view wage determinations for building, heavy, highway, and residential construction projects in Missouri (MO).
Missouri has 115 counties with active Davis-Bacon wage determinations (920 total WDs) across four construction types — building, heavy, highway, and residential. Federal construction contracts of $2,000 or more in Missouri must pay no less than the DOL-published prevailing wage and fringe benefits for the project's county and construction type.
Missouri State Prevailing Wage Law
Missouri's Prevailing Wage Law (RSMo Chapter 290) applies to public-works construction of $75,000 or more, with a special simpler "Public Works Contracting Minimum Wage" framework for smaller projects. The state's 2018 reform tied rates more closely to actual area wages and the federal Davis-Bacon survey methodology.
