Okay, let’s tackle this. So Janice has 47 years of experience, which is extremely rare. Typically, professionals with such extensive experience can charge higher rates. However, her role as Chief Operating Officer might not be directly comparable to other positions. Considering her skills in interior design, project management, and sales, I'd place her in the upper-middle range for experienced professionals in the US. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, project managers with 40+ years of experience can earn around $115-$145 per hour. Since Janice has more than 40 years of experience, I'll estimate her rate to be on the higher end of this range. Maybe around $125 per hour.
