Okay, let’s tackle this. So Joyce has 28 years of experience in administrative roles, which is a long time. Her skills in Microsoft Office and system administration are also valuable. However, her role is in a relatively small department in Ohio, which might limit her earning potential. Considering the average salary for administrative assistants in the US is around $40,000-$60,000 per year, I’ll estimate her hourly rate to be around $40, considering she’s been in the role for 28 years and might be closer to the lower end of the salary range.
