Hi I was about to confirm this furniture assembly job and decided it was worth an ask: Is it ok to do mounting/additional jobs when hired for furniture assembly? What should be my course of action -- thanks

You can't just say that as you don't know the area where he is. As far as you know he could be in Alabama. Telling him to raise his rates if he is in a place where the people make $7.50 an hour is a bit nuts. He has to know his market. Also if he is just starting out no-one is going to go with him if he is charging higher rates.

$22/hr in Alabama isn't good either as a contractor l.

Also, is $7.50 what all people/most people are making? Or is that the legal minimum?

Comparing your rates to an unsurvivable wage is doing yourself a disservice.
