What salary and benefits should you pay if you’re an employer? What salary should you make if you’re an employee?
Dear Janet,
Just a quick question: Where, on the internet, can I find information about prevailing wages?

Dear Curious,
The prevailing wage rate is the average wage paid to workers doing similar work in a specific occupation. The Department of Labor’s Occupational Information Network (O*NET) provides information on skills, abilities, knowledge, tasks, work activities, average salary and the specific vocational preparation levels associated with occupations.
