Okay, let’s calculate this. Susan has 1 experience entry, which is a Buyer role at EBMUD. The location is Pittsburg, California, which is a relatively high-cost area. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average hourly rate for procurement managers in the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward, CA Metropolitan Division is around $85. However, considering Susan’s skills in SAP and Microsoft Office, as well as her experience in energy and water treatment, I would estimate her rate to be slightly higher. Let’s consider a range of $100–$150 per hour. Given her role as a Buyer, I would place her rate at the lower end of this range, around $125 per hour.
