I don't think most general contractors work on hourly rates. A general contractor working on a cost-plus basis typically charges between 10% and 15% over the total project cost as her profit. A general contractor working on a fixed-bid will probably have a significantly higher margin to account for unexpected expenses. This year (2008), the general contractor building our home in Los Angeles, CA is on a fixed fee of 10% of the estimated project cost, plus $75 per hour for any additional work due to major change requests. That hourly rate is probably high for non-costal cities.
According to Docstoc.com, paving contractors typically charge between $60 and $100 per hour. They may charge other fees such as site visit fees or preparation fees.
Please contact the Better Business Bureau or the Att. General's office for more information, lists, etc.
Electrical contractors typically charge between $50 to $150 per hour, depending on factors like location, experience, and type of work. It's important to get quotes from multiple contractors to find the best rate for your specific project.
The going rate for tile contractors actually varies depending on your location, but on average, they usually charge anywhere between $6 - $20 per square foot of tile. They don't usually charge by the hour, rather, by the amount of installation the need to do.
It depends on where in the world.
A general Contractor does not typically charge by the hour. They usually charge by the job or by percentage. A G.C.'s job is to hire and coordinate not to "work" so hours would be a pore measure of his worth. Perhaps you are confusing a GC with a Home Improvement Contractor?
In Northern California a handyman can easily charge between $25 to $50 and hour depending on the location he is working. It should be noted if you do not have a California Contractors Lisc. you are limited by law to do jobs up to $500 which includes labor and materials.

Lawyers charge by the hour. If you're a very unpopular lawyer, you won't get many clients even if you only charge $10 per hour and you won't be able to charge anyone if nobody wants you to represent them. If you're a very popular lawyer, you get to set your price, and it can be as much as $500 per hour or even more. It's all a matter of supply and demand.
Depends on how much they charge per hour
As much as you want.
