Okay, let’s tackle this. So Linda has 18 years of experience, which is a good amount of time to have developed skills and expertise. She has worked in various roles, including leadership positions, which suggests she has strong organizational and communication skills. Her experience with Microsoft Office applications and Oracle E Business Suite is also valuable. However, her rate is not extremely high, which suggests she may not be in a high-demand field or a competitive market. Based on national averages for procurement and customer service professionals in the United States, her rate of $75 per hour is below average. For example, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median hourly wage for procurement specialists was $24.71 in May 2020. However, considering her experience and skills, I would estimate her rate to be around $75, which is slightly above the national average for entry-level positions but still below average for more experienced professionals.
