my son (an apprentice bricky) recons 80 bricks (9x4x3) an hour is good

but you have to remember there are limitations, a high short wall could
take longer than a low long wall, even using the same number of bricks,
because the mortar has to go "off" enough while the next courses are
being laid.

he also said expect to pay around £1 per brick (for laying them not for
the bricks).

That's 640 quid a day labour, unless I've got something wrong.
