Okay, let’s tackle this. So Ben Edkin has skills in Employee Benefits, Benefits Administration, Process Improvement, Vendor Management, and Customer Service. These are valuable skills in the HR and benefits space. However, his location in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is a smaller market. According to national averages, benefits professionals with similar skills in larger cities might charge $100-$150 per hour. Considering the smaller market, I'll estimate around $75 per hour, which is lower than average but still reflective of his skills and experience.
