How much do millwrights earn on prevailing wage jobs in New Jersey?
Every row below is one wage determination line: a millwright 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.

Millwright prevailing wage questions
What is the prevailing wage for a millwright in New Jersey?
Across the 35 federal-funded determination records WageFinder lists for millwrights in New Jersey, total prevailing wage runs from $93.90 to $93.90 per hour, median $93.90. 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 millwright rate include benefits?
The total prevailing wage shown is the base hourly rate plus the fringe benefit rate. Of the 35 New Jersey records on this page, 35 list a fringe amount separately, with a median of $35.06 per hour — roughly 37% 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.
Which New Jersey counties have millwright rates?
This page lists millwright records for 21 counties in New Jersey: Atlantic, Bergen, Burlington, Camden, Cape-May, Cumberland, Essex, Gloucester, Hudson, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, and others. Determinations that apply statewide appear under a statewide entry rather than a named county.
How current are these New Jersey millwright rates?
The most recent determination in this set is dated May 20, 2026. WageFinder re-reads the official sources weekly, but the date that matters for compliance is the determination date on the document itself, which is shown on every wage detail page and links back to the government source.
