Massachusetts general laborer rates
Also called laborer, construction laborer, labourer. Rates by SubTrack.
Massachusetts charge-out rates follow Boston civil, utilities, and Worcester industrial. Union density and urban access push labor above the national median. These USD figures are public T&M ranges, not a PLA. General laborer charge-out is the most-used T&M labor line on civil tickets. It is not a pipelayer or a skilled laborer. OT rules belong on your sheet so the field does not invent them. In Massachusetts, a general laborer typically bills $75 /hr (range $65 to $90, as of 2026-08). For a check against nearby markets, New York sits at $80 /hr, and Connecticut sits at $75 /hr. These are public benchmarks. Your billable number lives on a SubTrack rate sheet.
