This report provides detailed, up-to-date summaries of hundreds of negotiated wage and fringe benefits increases covering hundreds of thousands of construction union workers throughout the United States. Data are categorized in a variety of ways, including by craft, geographic region, and year and show both cost and percent increase amounts. Historic trends and already negotiated future increases are also presented. This report is a must for any party preparing for wage negotiations or planning a construction project. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d375710088ee600019ba2d9/1576508800123-RPFMDSIWBILDRQQ32SKW/Cover-High%252BRes-T%252526O.jpg Publications - Union Labor Costs In Construction Published annually in April, after the first quarter of the year. This report is a useful companion to the Settlements Reports. Based on the extensive CLRC databases, the report shows the actual average total package rates for union labor costs in construction. Results are summarized by craft, geographic region and year. Additional tables illustrate how increases were distributed by dollar amount and percent. Historic data are shown along with already negotiated future increases. https://www.clrcconsulting.org/team daily 0.75 2026-02-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d375710088ee600019ba2d9/1593186835806-XHMJ2GTWFC0ZIFL6XT11/image-asset.jpeg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d375710088ee600019ba2d9/1573834508260-NSUND7QSC1GWNWNQ47BR/CareyDk1.jpg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d375710088ee600019ba2d9/1573834540673-3FWM7MNRAT5OX9XM098X/MattDkTie1.jpg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d375710088ee600019ba2d9/1573835797904-PV58YWOKT5MVNUITNO5N/image-asset.jpeg Team https://www.clrcconsulting.org/home daily 1.0 2025-08-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d375710088ee600019ba2d9/1587478212308-A0J3J9FZU0H0EQQ18UFO/image-asset.jpeg The Construction Labor Research Council https://www.clrcconsulting.org/contact daily 0.75 2022-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d375710088ee600019ba2d9/1593192396954-KLYA4WYWKWN0G82FUVMB/image-asset.jpeg Contact https://www.clrcconsulting.org/products daily 0.75 2025-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d375710088ee600019ba2d9/1594218913874-WQLCYGFUV3CRCEIASB3U/image-asset.jpeg Products https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d375710088ee600019ba2d9/1573662474655-UWXHEW605ALXGU9A0IP4/Cover-High%2BRes-U-NU.jpg Products - Union-Nonunion Wage & Fringe Benefits Comparison Many groups want to see a comparison of union to nonunion wages and fringe benefits rates. An evaluation of the pay package for a specific craft in a specific geographic location is very helpful for both management and labor in order to provide a common understanding of the total compensation environment in their area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d375710088ee600019ba2d9/1573654598259-K6E72FASK1BJDB6FQ9DY/Cover-High%2BRes-MS.jpg Products - Market Share Study Contractors, associations, owners, unions, and labor-management groups increasingly are seeing the necessity of understanding their market share. Measuring market share, including historical trends, using an experienced, objective third party such as CLRC helps labor and management understand the effectiveness of their current business practices. Market Share With Sectors: Adds to the standard Market Share Study by breaking market share into sectors: Residential, Commercial, Service, and Industrial. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d375710088ee600019ba2d9/1573661809907-OEDKYVWL4BC4EUXM2Z7Q/Cover-High%2BRes-CC.jpg Products - Contract Costing This report provides the unique function of converting relevant language in a labor contract to the cost it incurs for employers. More specifically, 10 -12 clauses that result in a cost are identified. Then, using CLRC algorithms, the monetary value of each clause is calculated. This value can then be added to the total package rate to better understand costs beyond wages and fringe benefits. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d375710088ee600019ba2d9/fe8e7e07-fe6f-410d-b7fa-1543addbcf81/Picture2.2.jpg Products - Contractor’s Cost Conundrum New from CLRC, Contractor’s Cost Conundrum explains some of the very challenging economic and staffing challenges faced by contractors. The report, customized to your location, compares the cost of living (CPI) to the extremely large increases in the commodities (materials) purchased by contractors. The report goes on to clearly explain another lesser known but critical difficulty, variability over time (aka unpredictability) in the cost of construction commodities, spending on construction and even employment, all of which make planning very difficult. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d375710088ee600019ba2d9/1573661313965-ONP0675OVGE68INRNX6X/Cover-High%2BRes-BM.jpg Products - Benchmark Analysis The Benchmark Analysis is helpful for comparing union wage trends with benchmark sources such as the CPI or nonunion pay increases. The union pay rate from 10-20 years ago is modeled using the increases in the benchmark data to bring the rate to the current time. Over time, the gaps between the union and benchmark rates grows, and the impact of large or even small differences years earlier becomes evident as time and compounding play out in the data. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d375710088ee600019ba2d9/09b06943-783f-4f2f-af5d-615441486c86/Picture1.jpg Products - Construction Data Record A compendium of data about the construction industry, customized to your location.
