Okay, let’s tackle this. So Liz Barker has 15 years of experience in accounting and administration, which is a long time. Location is Midland, Texas, which is a smaller city with a lower cost of living. Industry is not specified, but administrative professionals in general tend to charge lower rates. I’ll use the US Bureau of Labor Statistics’ median hourly wage for administrative assistants, which is around $25. However, this is for the entire US, and rates can vary by location. For Midland, Texas, I’ll use a location-based adjustment. According to Indeed.com, the average hourly rate for administrative assistants in Midland is around $30. Considering Liz’s experience, I’ll estimate her rate to be around $35 per hour.
