Ohio Prevailing Wage Rates by Trade (2026)
Pick a trade to see its Davis-Bacon and state determination rates across Ohio — base rate, fringe benefits and total hourly wage, county by county.
Prevailing wage in Ohio is set per county, per construction type and per funding source, not per state. WageFinder tracks roughly 10,421 wage records for Ohio across 89 counties and statewide determinations. The trade pages below slice that by classification, which is usually how the question actually gets asked — "what does a ironworker make on a federal job here" rather than "show me every rate in this county".
