The short version
The pay picture is simple and narrow: one posting on file lists $35 an hour, with the same number as min, max, and median. There is no sign-on bonus, stipend, or contract-length detail attached to that listing.
Employer research, Aug 2, 2026
The one posting on record lists $35 an hour, flat—no range above or below that number.
