Okay, let’s calculate this. So Lisa has a broad range of HR skills, but most of them are mid-level. Benefits administration, performance management, and payroll are all important HR functions, but they're not typically the most high-paying. Recruiting and talent acquisition can be, but it depends on the industry and location. Since Lisa is in Plymouth, Michigan, which is a mid-sized city, I'll assume she's not in a major metropolitan area like New York or San Francisco. That helps keep her rate lower. Considering her skills and location, I'll estimate her hourly rate to be around $80, which is a reasonable rate for a mid-level HR professional in the Midwest.
