Okay, so Chris Carver has a broad set of skills, but they're not particularly high-demand or specialized. He's a customer service and management professional with some marketing and public relations experience. Location is Gastonia, NC, which is a smaller market. According to national averages, entry-level customer service reps in the US can start around $25-$35 per hour, while management professionals might start around $40-$60 per hour. Public relations and marketing professionals can start around $50-$80 per hour. Since Chris has a broad set of skills and is in a smaller market, I'll estimate his rate at the lower end of these ranges, around $50 per hour.
