Okay, let’s tackle this. So John Wood has some office management experience, but it’s mostly temporary. The average hourly rate for an office manager in the US is around $25-$40 per hour, depending on the location and industry. Since John is in Connecticut, let’s use that as a reference. The rate for temporary office workers is usually lower, around $15-$25 per hour. Considering John’s experience, I’d estimate his hourly rate to be around $35, which is slightly above the average for temporary office workers but still on the lower end for a full-time office manager.
