Employment Commission who determines the hourly value of volunteer time
reevaluated how they come up with the state value of volunteer time
and aligned the state statistic more closely with the Department of
Labor’s figures for 2003. The previous year’s hourly rate
was valued at $20.02. 2005 is valued at $18.04/hour.
