From this question, it seems like your employer is filing a PERM application for you. The 124,000 wage is what the employer will have to agree to pay you for your future employment, should your PERM and I-140 be approved. It is for your prospective employment. Looks like you will be getting a raise in the future
If you are not being paid the prevailing wage or higher your PERM case and I-140 cases will be denied. The prevailing wage response may have mis-classified your position or put it into too high a level so that is the first hurdle to overcome before beginning the recruitment for your job.
