Okay, let’s tackle this. So Howard has 42 years of experience, which is extremely long-term. He’s a VP at AFD Contract Furniture, which is a company that sells furniture. His skills are pretty broad, including furniture, move management, account management, and more. He’s based in New York, which is a major hub for business. Industry standards for executives with his experience and skills are around $100-$200 per hour. However, considering his role and location, I’d estimate his hourly rate to be around $150. This is slightly higher than average, but his experience and industry position justify it.
