Okay, let’s tackle this. So Kari has a broad range of HR skills, which are in demand. However, her role seems to be more focused on general HR and management rather than specialized areas like labor law or compensation. Location is Arlington Heights, IL, which is a suburban area with a lower cost of living. According to national averages, HR professionals with similar skills in the Midwest can charge between $40-$75 per hour. Considering her experience and skills, I’m estimating her hourly rate to be on the lower end of this range, around $75.
