Who they are
You are weighing a Compvue travel assignment in Utica, New York. From the one posting on record, weekly gross pay sits around $2,800. Hourly rate, housing stipend, and contract length are not spelled out in that sample, so you will want to confirm those on the actual requisition before you sign.
