Okay, let’s tackle this. So Larry Atkins has 29 years of experience in supervisory roles, which is a long time. Typically, operations professionals with this level of experience can command a higher rate. However, the industry and location play a role. Larry is based in Columbus, Mississippi, which is a smaller market. According to national averages, operations managers with similar experience can earn between $50-$100 per hour. However, considering the certification in Six Sigma, which is a valuable skill, I would estimate a slightly higher rate. Let’s aim for $75 per hour, on the lower end of the range, given the smaller market and lack of specific industry demand information.
