Okay, let’s tackle this. So Linda has a mix of skills in finance, accounting, and store operations. Her experience in accounts payable, bookkeeping, and inventory management are all in demand. However, her hourly rate is likely to be on the lower side due to her role being in a retail setting. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median hourly wage for retail salespersons, which is a related role, is around $10-$12 per hour. Considering her skills and experience, I would estimate her hourly rate to be around $35, which is slightly higher than the median wage but still on the lower side due to her role. Maybe around $40-$50 per hour, but I'll stick with $35 for simplicity.
