New York State Unemployment Insurance
Prevailing Wage Database
Welcome to New York State's Unemployment Insurance
Prevailing Wage Program.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
These wages comply with the New York State Department of Labor formula for establishing Prevailing Wages under Unemployment Insurance (UI) law. The wages are updated annually, based on the findings of the annual Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) survey of employers. The New York State Department of Labor conducts the OES survey in cooperation with the U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The information is provided to help employers and unemployed job seekers understand the job titles and wage rates that will determine prevailing wage in local areas across New York State. The UI cutoff wage is a short term for wages that are 10 percent below the UI Prevailing Wages. Wages that fail to meet the "cutoff wage" may be refused by job seekers without forfeiture of their UI benefits for prevailing wage reasons.
These wages are to be used for UI purposes only. They are not to be used, for example, for prevailing wages for Public Work or Foreign Labor Certification purposes.
Please search our database by county and job title, using the boxes below. Once you have found the title(s) you need, you will have the UI Prevailing Wage and the UI Cutoff value. These wages are not to be used for other purposes.
