Am I worth $90 per hour?

I am 43 years old. I have close to 20 years experience in I.T. I currently work for a government agency doing database and unix support. I have skills in Unix, Crytal reports, Betrieve and some programming. However, I have been made redundant. I have sent my CV to a number of recruitment agencies. Given my experience I am worth $90 per hour. Should I ask for more?

Wink I would say... too high

In the states, if you ask for 90/hr, you're prob a consulting company that consists of many resources(employees). The independent contractors here in the Dallas, Texas area range from 45-70/hr. I'm thinking 90/hr is a little out there - even here in the states.
