It probably depends on the domain - I've hired people domestically across a few different fields for rates in the $50 - $150/hr range when I was looking for specific expertise that I wasn't able to find in my network. It's sort of niche and I don't know if they were making a full time living from it, but I think we paid fair and got what we paid for.
