What is the going rate for hanging drywall? What is the going rate for finishing drywall?

No one can give you a specific answer. It varies too much from location to location, and the changing economy (particularly the home building industry). Call a couple hangers and finishers in your area and ask. Any local home builder can probably give you a good estimate. Their cost will probably be less than yours.

I agree, it varies a great deal. Around here I can hire guys to install a sheet, hang it and finish for $25. He likely has no insurance, license and we need Rosetta Stone so we can understand each other. Pros run more like $50.

In green bay wi I charge 12.50 to hang rock and23.04 to finish it this is by the sheet/you supply all the sheetrock

in PGH PA the average is about $1.50 a square ft. that buy hang and finish if whole house a 4 x 12 sheet will cost you $72 a sheet... that's the sheet rock, mud tape and labor
smaller the job price goes up

I'm laughing so hard here. I use Rosetta Stone for that exact reason except it doesn't translate to
Trowel machine is called a helicopter.
Metal clips for ply concrete forms is chopa.
Backhoe is a Digger.
Concrete pump truck is a bumpa
A concrete beam is a beega
Bucket lift is a giraffe.
And its "throw the Crete" not pour
Some of it is Spanglish in translation..
We all have fun with it on the job site teaching each other. One worker didn't know any English but when my shorts slid of my hip on one side almost to my butt he blurted out pornographico

Wdurit. Sorry for poking my nose here but it was to funny and two true in the trades to pass this up and share the inside world of construction in the U.S.

In southern Pa 90s drywall finishers were getting close to what real plasters were to finish. I find is extremely hard to find top self finishers. The old ones are dying off/retired and the replacements goes like this

Now everybody is a mud man, so is there cousins brothers My friend and uncles. Sign of the times
