Okay, let’s tackle this. So Patty has a broad range of HR skills, but no specific experience or education are mentioned. Location is Lake Oswego, Oregon, which is a relatively expensive area. However, her skills are fairly common in HR, and she lacks a specific title or industry. Based on national averages for HR professionals in the US, a rate of $50–$100 per hour is reasonable for someone with her skills and experience. Considering her location, I’ll estimate around $100 per hour.
