    Cheers Jobstats. I find your site very informative, if not a little depressing sometimes. Keep up the good work!

    Also I think your site shows there are no contracts, but if there were, they would be very well paid.
    or in laymans terms, "it's a pile of sh*te".

    HTH.

    We appear to be as low as the dip following the dot com bust. The question is, will we go any lower?

    Hourly rates are looking fantastic though:

    Trying to track down the anomaly here. With the low volumes it only takes a careless agent to put one too many zeros on a daily rate to really affect the averages. I do not actually believe that contractor rates are climbing like this

    OK it's April 2nd and JobStats is still looking suspiciously Februaryish.

    Whoever voted "Not updated; JobStats isn't what it used to be...", all one of you, can pat yourself on the back. You were right and the rest of us were wrong.
