Okay, let’s tackle this. So Dorcas has 31 years of experience in accounting and customer service, which is a long time. However, her role is quite specialized, and her skills are not in high demand. Location is Baltimore, MD, which has a relatively low cost of living. Considering her experience and role, I would estimate her hourly rate to be around $25, which is on the lower end of the scale for administrative professionals with similar experience. Some online sources suggest that administrative assistants with similar experience can earn between $15-$30 per hour. So, I’m being conservative with my estimate.
