Ah yes,

well this is for your average over the year. We can do another one in 2011 so we know if things have improved!

Also this is for daily rate.

Still not taken that statistics course yet?

Nope, I am waiting for you to come and teach me.

Lesson one: Sample Size.

Should be roughly 10% of the universe.

Should be roughly 10% of the universe.

So roughly the size of 1000 million galaxies?

Is this the average for days worked, or the average with bench time included?

I thought a random sample of roughly 1000 got you within 1% accuracy, which is what Mori and all those pollsters work to.

You did the poll about benched time as well didn't you? Is there a reason for all these? To see some pretty bars and dream about earning this and look forward to next year with a spring in your step. Apart from that I can't really see the use of these at all. Random set of people who put anything down across every contracting role you can think of so no bearing on your individual circumstance and not knowing how much bench time is considered in this average. Not the most useful exercise if you are looking to get something out of these IMO.
