Okay, let’s tackle this. So Joshua Jacobs is an Optical Fabricator with 1+ year of experience. The salary range for Optical Fabricators in the US, according to Glassdoor, is around $45,000–$70,000 per year. Considering his experience and skills, I’d estimate his hourly rate to be around $37–$58. Since I don’t have more specific information about his skills or industry demand, I’ll take a conservative approach and estimate his hourly rate to be around $50.
