Key Finding
Maryland contractors bill $26/hr above the national median
Maryland's proximity to the DC metro area and federal facility work push rates above the national median. Contractors with government clearance or prevailing wage experience command significant premiums.
For a 10-tech shop, that $26/hr difference means $520K per year in additional revenue compared to the national median.
