Prevailing wage statistics are based upon occupation and geographic area.
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) maintains a database that breaks down prevailing wage statistics by occupation and metropolitan area. The DOL Employment and Training Administration (DOLETA) The DOL's Online Wage Library can be found on the Florida Labor Certification Data Center at: http://www.flcdatacenter.com.
