Contradicting statement?

Question

"Requirement 4 - You must be paid at least the actual or prevailing wage for your occupation, whichever is higher."What at does it mean by "the actual wage," if just to express the minimum standard is the prevailing wage why not nust ohrase it as"...must be paid at least the prevailing wage"??So confusing

diAAnaPat least the actual or prevailing wage

This doesn't make any sense to me, either. I have no idea what they're trying to say. Maybe someone else knows if there's some kind of technical definition of "actual wage" in the field of labor relations. Let's wait and see if someone else can explain it.

This is from one of CJ's links:

While the “prevailing wage” is defined as the average wage paid to similarly employed persons in the geographic area the “actual wage” is defined as the wage paid by that employer to all other individuals “with similar experience and qualifications for the specific employment in question.”

Requirement 4 - You must be paid at least the actual or prevailing wage for your occupation, whichever is higher.

Example:
Suppose the average wage for security guards in the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico is $7.75 per hour, but the store you work for pays their guards $7.50 per hour. You must be paid at least $7.75 per hour.
