3 Brad Avakian Commissioner Suite NE Oregon, #32 Portland, Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries 3865 Wolverine Ave. NE; E-1 Salem, Oregon th, Room 220 Eugene, Oregon Each year, the State of Oregon Employment Department (OED), under the direction of December 2011 the Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI), conducts a comprehensive geographical wage survey of the construction industry. This publication summarizes the data collected by the Employment Department from the survey conducted in This is the data that provided the basis for the Bureau s determinations for the January 2012 prevailing wage rate publication. While completion of the annual wage survey is mandatory under state law, individual employer survey responses are confidential. This publication protects that confidentiality by limiting the published data to occupations and geographic areas where there were a minimum of three reporting employers and five or more employees. The results of the 2011 survey reflect almost nine hundred thousand hours of work performed by Oregon construction workers in over 50 craft occupations during four preselected weeks of construction activity in the previous twelve months. Data were collected in fourteen geographical regions specified in state law. This is the fifteenth annual survey that has been conducted by OED/BOLI. A funding mechanism to conduct these surveys was established by the 1995 Legislature. The Prevailing Wage (PWR) law is designed to represent the interests of all Oregonians. For workers, it establishes the minimum wage to be paid for the particular type of construction work performed. For construction industry contractors, the law provides a more competitive opportunity to perform public construction work. And for taxpayers, the PWR law serves to assure quality workmanship at a fair price. Brad Avakian Commissioner Page 3

6 FOREWORD The Oregon Prevailing Wage (PWR) Law applies to public works projects involving construction, reconstruction, major renovation, or painting when the total contract price exceeds $50,000. In 1995, the Legislature established a fee for all state public works projects to pay for the education and enforcement of the state s Prevailing Wage laws and wage surveys. The Oregon Employment Department, directed by the Bureau of Labor and Industries, conducted the first construction wage survey in In 1997, the Legislature required that the Labor Commissioner rely on the survey in making rate determinations. If the Commissioner determines that there is insufficient data in a locality to establish the prevailing wage rate for an occupation, the law directs the Commissioner to consider additional information such as collective bargaining agreements, other independent wage surveys, and the prevailing wage rates determined by appropriate federal agencies or agencies of adjoining states. This publication summarizes the data collected in the 2011 Construction Industry Occupational Wage Survey. While these data form the basis for rate determinations, the data included in this publication are not the official prevailing wage rates. The Commissioner considers occupational and geographical combinations, as well as other available information, in determining the prevailing wage rates. The current applicable prevailing wage rates to be used on public works projects are available on the bureau s website or upon request by contacting: Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries Prevailing Wage Unit 800 NE Oregon Street Suite 1045 Portland, OR For more information relating to this report, contact: Jason Payton Oregon Employment Department or Wage Unit, Room Street NE Salem, OR Denise Voll Oregon Employment Department Wage Unit, Room Street NE Salem, OR Page 6

7 Methodology Population The survey universe was constructed using a list of firms from the Oregon Employment Department s Quarterly Census of Employment & Wages database (QCEW). Each firm in the database is assigned to an industry using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). All firms classified within a construction-related industry were included. Lists of construction associations were screened to ensure association members were included, but not duplicated, in the survey population. The Construction Contractor s Board (CCB) also supplied a list of out-of-state commercial contractors registered in Oregon. All firms were sent a preliminary postcard. The postcard was used to inform firms that they would receive the survey, to make address corrections, to remove firms not within the scope of the survey, and to identify which establishments were no longer in business. that returned a completed survey provided occupation, wage, benefit, and region information for each employee working at a non-residential construction site during four pre-selected weeks. The survey form also inquired if the firm was party to a union contract and the skill level of each employee. The survey did not seek information about corporate officers, office staff, or residential project employees. A sample survey form is presented at the end of the Appendix. Ninety percent of the firms responded to the survey. Data Presentation and Confidentiality This report presents the data by occupation. To ensure the confidentiality of information provided by survey respondents, only data for which three or more firms and five or more workers are reported. In the Wage Data by Occupation section, regions with fewer than three firms or fewer than five workers by occupation were combined and reported. These groupings are designed to report as much detailed regional data as possible. The regions do not necessarily correspond to the Wage s used by the Labor Commissioner in determining the prevailing wage rate. Similar occupations are grouped to correspond with the groupings in the Prevailing Wage publication. The hourly wage and benefit columns are all average values weighted by hours. For instance, the wage of someone who works forty hours will have more influence on the average than the wage of someone who works ten hours. These calculations are explained in the Definitions section of the Appendix. Limitations The information contained in this report reflects the amount of non-residential construction hours performed in four pre-selected weeks by each firm. The Wage reflects where the work took place, which may not necessarily be where the firm resides. Additionally, the data represents only information provided for journey-level workers. Page 7

8 Changes to the Survey In 2009, the BOLI commissioner asked the Prevailing Wage Advisory Committee (PWAC) and the Oregon Employment Department to review the annual construction industry wage survey. Recommendations were made to increase the validity of the data, and minimize the burden on contractors who report data. Based on those recommendations, the Commissioner made changes to the survey that were then implemented over the past two survey periods. Those changes included: More data collected from contractors In past survey years, contractors reported wage and benefit information for their busiest week, or Peak Week. Beginning with the 2010 Construction Industry Occupational Wage Survey, contractors were required to report for four pre-selected work weeks, which included the dates: February 12 th May 12 th August 12 th November 12 th Revision to Occupation- Beginning with the surveys mailed in 2011, trades in regions in which collectively bargained rates have been determined to have prevailed for three or more consecutive years were not required to be reported by contractors. A table showing the occupation-region combinations contractors were required to report for can be found in the Appendix. Collection of data over two survey periods The survey universe was split in two beginning with the surveys mailed in Based on a stratified random allocation, which took into account industry and contractor size, contractors would be sent a survey either in July or January. The combined responses from both periods make up the data used for the report. This is the first report since all changes to the survey were implemented. As a result of the trade-region changes, the information reported for occupations reflect only the regions where reporting was required. The Totals in the report are not comparable to the statewide totals reported in past reports. Due to the two-panel collection period, data from the 2010 survey and 2011 survey were used to provide the most complete set of information for this report. The upcoming July 2012 report will be the first report with a complete set of data collected under this two-panel methodology. Page 8

9 Survey Response Summary Half of the survey universe was selected to be sent survey material in July Surveys were sent to 2,182 firms after they had indicated they had done some non-residential construction work in Oregon over the past year. A total of 1,131 firms returned usable wage and benefit information. The remaining firms either were not required to report (855), or did not respond (196).

10 Wage Data By Occupation The following section contains wage estimates for occupations by wage rate region. To see a breakout of what counties are included in specific regions, see the wage rate regions table found in the Appendix. The number of found in the following section show the count of unique firm-occupation-region combinations. The hourly wage and benefit columns are all average values weighted by hours. For instance, the wage of someone who works forty hours will have more influence on the average than the wage of someone who works ten hours. These calculations are explained in the Definitions section of the Appendix. To ensure the confidentiality of information provided by survey respondents, only data for which three or more firms, and five or more workers is reported. s with fewer than three firms or fewer than five workers by occupation were combined and reported in a balance of state (BOS) grouping. These groupings are designed to report as much detailed regional data as possible. The BOS regions do not necessarily correspond to the Wage s used by the Labor Commissioner in determining the prevailing wage rate. To see the most current definitions for all occupations go to the BOLI website, Example: Occupational Title Asbestos Worker and Insulator Shaded regions were required to report. Page 10
