on any federally-funded Davis-Bacon regulated contracts. This means all the unskilled workers on job-sites in every state in the union who might have been getting $7.25 an hour just got a nice little raise in January.
Now, if you were making around $10 an hour with a skill, and all minimum wages for every job classification are posted at the job-site by federal law, that unskilled laborer they just hired just got a raise? What are you going to want?
It looks like Obama has created a trickle-up economy!
Davis-Bacon specifies prevailing wages in the local area, even down to particular single county. So, this policy covers union and non-union wages, and benefits, too! If you are contracted and don't have benefits, you have to make up the difference in cash!
There are no exceptions!
