I'll go against the thread and say rates in my sector have definitely increased - not by much, but I'd say a good £50 increase on advertised rates. That's a VERY niche sector though, with a single digit number of open vacancies.

History tells us when unemployment rates rise income rates tank. Indeed a double whammy is often observed as food prices increase at the same time.
Prepare yourself.

I don't think this is the golden goose it appears to be.
On the recent webinar many people were asking how often new suppliers get work vs those who have received contracts in the past. No idea if they will do the analysis, it would make for interesting reading.
