ANNUAL WAGE & BENEFIT SURVEY RESULTS AVAILABLE

 

 

Click here to request survey results


ABC's NH/VT Annual Construction Industry Wage & Benefit Survey Results are now available to members. The annual survey data, collected from December 2014 through March 2015, included responses from 50 contractors, with an average of 49 employees and an average annual volume of $11 million. The responses covered wage and benefit practices for 17 classifications of employees. The survey results also provide information on health, dental, disability, retirement and other life style benefits.

This survey is the only one of its kind available in our area.  We appreciate the response from members to assure we received data to provide the most valuable information for as many employee classifications as possible.  The survey data is extremely important to:

  • Provide members with valuable information to maintain competitive wage and benefit practices
  • Support owners who may be purchasing construction services and are subjected to union campaigns that include inaccurate statements about merit shop wage and benefit practices
  • Provide legislators and other public policy decision maker's factual, documented evidence of the wage and benefit practices of merit shop contractors.

Please contact the ABC NH/VT Chapter Office if you have any questions: 603-226-4789
