Okay, let’s tackle this. So Mary has a broad range of skills that overlap with multiple industries. She’s got experience in project management, construction management, and facilities management, which are all in demand. However, her skills don’t seem to be in the highest demand. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, project managers in the Charlotte area can earn around $60,000-$80,000 per year. Considering her skills and experience, I’d estimate her hourly rate to be around $37-$50. Given her skills in design research and contract negotiation, she might be able to charge slightly more, but I'll stick with the lower end of that range.
