How much do glaziers earn on prevailing wage jobs in District of Columbia?
Every row below is one wage determination line: a glazier 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.
