In the state of Georgia, the federal Department of Labor determines the prevailing wage rate based on the hourly rate paid on public works projects to a majority of workers engaged in a particular craft, classification or type of work. Specifically, the DOL bases those determinations on workers who are located within the locality or nearest labor market area. In the event that there is no single rate paid to a majority, then the single or modal rate being paid to the greater number of workers is prevailing.
