Description

Explore the complex landscape of labor economics with The Economics of Prevailing Wage Laws, part of the Alternative Voices in Contemporary Economics series. This text examines the impact of prevailing wage laws on the United States construction industry at both Federal and State levels. Readers will learn about the history of these regulations, starting with the federal Davis-Bacon Act of 1931. The book traces the expansion of these laws, noting that by 1969, four fifths of States had enacted legislation. It also covers the fiscal challenges faced in the 1970s when States considered repealing laws to reduce construction costs, and the subsequent shifts in policy since 1979. This book provides a detailed look at how contractors on government works are required to pay wage rates and fringe benefits that are prevailing for similar work. It is an essential resource for those studying labor economics, construction industry regulations, and the history of economic policy in America.
