PA Prevailing Wage Law Lifts Skills, Productivity, Safety, Keystone Research Finds from the Keystone Research Center
"With the Pennsylvania House Labor and Industry Committee scheduled to vote today on seven proposals to weaken Pennsylvania’s construction sector prevailing wage law, the Keystone Research Center today released a policy brief summarizing research on the impact of these laws. The research shows that prevailing wage laws do not raise construction costs on public projects but do increase investment in skills, improve health and safety, and lower dependence of construction workers on safety net programs."
