Okay, let’s tackle this. So Grace has 5+ years of experience as a data analyst, which is a solid amount of time to develop skills. Her education from Michigan State University is also a plus. Data analysts with her level of experience and education typically charge around $75–$125 per hour. However, considering the cost of living in Grand Rapids, MI, which is lower than many other US cities, I’ll estimate her rate to be on the lower end of that range. Maybe around $80–$100 per hour. Some data analysts with similar experience and education in larger cities might charge $150–$200 per hour, but that’s not the case here. So I’ll estimate around $85.
