Okay, let’s tackle this. So Brandy has 20 years of experience as an Administrative Assistant, which is a long-term role. Her skills in Microsoft Office applications and Quickbooks are also valuable. However, her role is in a relatively small company in Clarion, Iowa. The average salary for an Administrative Assistant in the US is around $40,000 per year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Considering her experience and skills, she might be able to negotiate a higher rate. But for a small company in a rural area, the rate might be lower. I’ll estimate around $40 per hour, which is a reasonable rate for her experience and skills in this location.
