Okay, Pam Peck has 35 years of experience as an interior designer, which is a significant amount of time. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, interior designers in the United States typically earn median annual salaries ranging from $55,000 to $90,000. Considering Pam's extensive experience, I'll estimate her hourly rate to be on the lower end of this range, likely around $75 per hour, taking into account that she's an independent business owner and not a salaried employee.
