Prevailing wage means that you get paid the same as other people in your profession in a given location.
This usually applies to union contract workers.
Prevailing wages are the wages required to be paid on state-funded construction projects. Wage rates are certified once a year in both highway/heavy and commercial type construction.
Minnesota's prevailing wage law (Minnesota Statutes 177.41 through 177.44) requires employees working on state-funded construction projects or other projects covered by law be paid wage-rates comparable to wages paid for similar work in the area where the project is located.

It's a job that has something to do with government. It has a higher pay scale than the "normal wage" but it usually puts you in a higher tax bracket.
The paychecks are nice though!

Sounds like they are talking about the current salary paid for that job generally.
