How much do fence erectors earn on prevailing wage jobs in Arkansas?
Every row below is one wage determination line: a fence erector classification, in one county, for one construction type, under one funding source. The rate that applies to your project is the row whose county, construction type and funding source all match it — a Highway rate does not apply to a Building project in the same county, and a state determination does not substitute for a federal one.

Fence Erector prevailing wage questions
What is the prevailing wage for a fence erector in Arkansas?
Across the 47 federal-funded determination records WageFinder lists for fence erectors in Arkansas, total prevailing wage runs from $10.00 to $12.94 per hour, median $11.80. There is no single statewide figure: each county's determination sets its own rate, and the same county can carry different rates for Building, Highway, Heavy and Residential work.
Does the fence erector rate include benefits?
The total prevailing wage shown is the base hourly rate plus the fringe benefit rate. None of these records list a separate fringe amount, which is common on non-union federal determinations — in that case the total is the base rate alone. Fringe can be paid as bona fide benefit plan contributions, as cash added to the paycheck, or as a mix of both.
