Summary
It would help ease the labor shortages Bruno calls a "Great Refusal," where workers are on the hunt for higher quality jobs."For four decades, we've been creating low wage jobs and we can see, quite frankly, the chickens have come home to roost," Bruno said.Bruno and Manzo found that custodians earned more in states with prevailing wage laws — 6 to 10% more than custodians in states without the laws. They also had lower rates of poverty than their counterparts in states without prevailing wage laws."What our study finds is that because of the way prevailing wage laws boost worker incomes, improve health insurance coverage rates, and promote job stability, is that those prevailing wage laws can address this labor shortage," Manzo said.
