Range of prices around AI automation from 2025 (reality check)

Here is what I paid for the Ai automation talent last year.

beginner ai automator (deploys n8n automations previously built based on specific instructions for clients) 15$ per hour
advanced ai automator (engages with customer directly, creates a proposal and builds the automation (20-30$ per hour)
graphic design (creates thumbnails, logos, banners) 15$ per hour
sales agent (answers incoming questions and based on script closes and upsells ) 15$ per hour + 10% commission from new customers and 5% from existing

who is paying and earning what in 2026 and what are your predictions?
