How much do bricklayers earn on prevailing wage jobs in New Jersey?
Every row below is one wage determination line: a bricklayer 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.
What does the bricklayer classification cover?
Bricklayers lay brick, block and structural masonry, and set stone. Masonry determinations often list bricklayer, stonemason, marble setter and tile setter as separate classifications even though the work is performed by the same crew, so the classification follows the material rather than the worker.
Work typically covered
- Brick and block laying
- Structural masonry
- Stone setting
- Refractory and firebrick
- Pointing, cleaning and caulking
Also listed as
- Bricklayer/Blocklayer
- Mason
- Stonemason
In this New Jersey result set the work appears under 6 distinct classification names.

What is the prevailing wage for a bricklayer in New Jersey?
Across the 46 federal-funded determination records WageFinder lists for bricklayers in New Jersey, total prevailing wage runs from $76.06 to $103.62 per hour, median $87.56. 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 bricklayer rate include benefits?
The total prevailing wage shown is the base hourly rate plus the fringe benefit rate. Of the 46 New Jersey records on this page, 46 list a fringe amount separately, with a median of $37.96 per hour — roughly 43% of the median total. The rest list no separate fringe, meaning the base rate is the whole obligation. Fringe can be paid as bona fide benefit plan contributions, as cash added to the paycheck, or as a mix of both.
