Who prevails under prevailing wage?

| April 20, 2011

Not taxpayers, that’s for sure.

A new NPRI study, authored by the Institute’s own Geoff Lawrence, exposes how Nevada’s prevailing wage laws subsidize unionized labor while increasing the construction costs paid by taxpayers.

Check out the executive summary of the study here and download the full study here.

Oh, and by the way, Geoff will be on Heidi Harris’ program on Monday, April 25 at 8:00 a.m. to discuss the study. Tune in to KDWN, AM 720.
