Question 2

Where does RoadHand's pay data come from?

RoadHand combines government data (BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, Davis-Bacon prevailing wage determinations, and GSA per diem rates) with anonymous pay reports submitted by workers on actual projects. Users can compare real take-home against market and prevailing-wage benchmarks.

Safety scores are auto-generated from OSHA enforcement inspection data, covering 50,000+ federal inspections. Each contractor gets a rolling safety record including serious violations, repeat offenses, and enforcement history.

Accepted Answer

Traveling trades workers in industrial construction — welders, linemen, pipefitters, ironworkers, electricians, crane operators, millwrights, boilermakers, heavy equipment operators, and industrial mechanics. Also property owners near job sites who want to list housing to verified tradespeople.
