Okay, let’s tackle this. So Joseph is a laborer with experience at Recycling International. Laborers with similar experience in the recycling industry can average around $17–$25 per hour. Considering his location in the Greater Chicago Area, which has a relatively high cost of living, I’ll estimate his rate on the lower end of that range. Maybe around $17 per hour, but this could vary depending on the specific job requirements and industry demand.
