Okay, let’s tackle this. So Manny has a mix of technical and business skills. Process engineering and water treatment are specialized fields with demand, but not extremely high. Manufacturing and sales experience are also valuable. However, his location in Argyle, Texas, is a relatively small town. Considering the industry and location, I'm estimating his hourly rate to be on the lower side of the range for process engineers in the US, around $100 per hour. This is lower than what I'd expect for a similar role in a larger city or with more advanced skills.
