What is the hourly rate for a government consultant?
That depends on a number of variables, however the contractors that are able to land a prime position are required to publish their standard rates on a GSA schedule. Rates vary based on labor category, which takes into consideration: The type of work or services to be offered; years of experience; education. To see for yourself, Google "GSA Schedule 70" and click on the GSA link. Select a company and click on the "Terms and Conditions" text document icon, which will lead you to the rates for that company. Note that the published rate for a particular company is not necessarily the rate they charge since rates can vary based on contract.
