The Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act sets overtime standards for which type of projects?

State-funded
Local government
Federal
Private

The correct answer is: Federal

The Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act specifically applies to federal contracts that exceed a certain dollar amount. This legislation is aimed at ensuring fair labor standards, particularly regarding overtime pay for laborers and mechanics working on federal projects. By setting these standards, the Act ensures that workers receive proper compensation for hours worked beyond the standard 40-hour workweek, thereby promoting safety and fair labor practices within projects funded by the federal government. State-funded, local government, and private projects may have their own regulations or standards for overtime, but they are not governed by this specific federal legislation. Thus, the focus of the Act on federal projects distinctly highlights its purpose and application in promoting labor standards associated with federal contracting.
