However, generally, as of my last data update in October 2023, the typical hourly wage for this role in the Midwest generally ranges from $15 to $22. If the rate falls within this range, it can be considered competitive and aligns with industry standards, particularly in healthcare settings where varying levels of experience and specific responsibilities influence pay. Additionally, local economic factors and demand for healthcare support roles in Grand Rapids can also affect competitiveness. For a more precise evaluation, I’d need the exact rate you’re inquiring about.
