I believe the simple answer is: are you working for yourself or through a contracting firm. Typical rates for this type of service will run $100/hr and up, depending on experience and the types of work being performed. However, if you are looking to source your work through a contracting firm, you will likely receive 1/2 or less of the actual contracted rate. And, that's reasonable, because the contracting firm has to absorb all of the associated overhead costs of the contractors, sales force, administration, etc.

My guess is that it would depend on what part of the country you're in (assuming you are in the US). Salary.com has a good wizard, but it lists general positions such as IT/Manager or IT/Networking.
