About this file
This document is a prevailing wage poster issued by the State of New Mexico, specifically detailing wage classifications and rates for Type "C" Residential construction work effective January 1, 2026. The poster applies to contractors performing work in New Mexico and establishes mandatory wage requirements for various skilled trades including carpenters, electricians, plumbers, roofers, and laborers. The document lists base rates, fringe rates, and apprenticeship rates for each trade classification, with some variations by county or geographic zone. All contractors are required to comply with these prevailing wage standards and must also pay applicable subsistence, zone, and incentive pay according to the particular trade classification.
The wage rates reflect significant variation based on trade classification and geographic location within New Mexico, with certain high-cost areas such as Los Alamos County commanding substantially higher base and fringe rates than standard classifications. For example, electricians performing inside classifications in Los Alamos earn base rates of $48.65 to $53.30 per hour with fringe benefits of $13.60 to $13.75, while the same classifications in Dona Ana, Hidalgo, Luna, and Otero counties pay $40.00 base with $9.92 fringe. All apprenticeship rates are uniformly set at $0.60 across all trades and classifications. Additional information regarding subsistence, zone, and incentive pay rates is available through the New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions Labor Relations Division at (505) 841-4400 or their public works website, and contractors may file wage claims through the same department.
