We calculate average IT contractor rates directly from the figures quoted and do not attempt to derive hourly rates from daily rates or vice versa.
These figures represent the IT job market and are NOT representative of employment within Mercator Software, Inc.
The chart provides a 3-month moving total beginning in 2004 of IT contractor jobs citing Mercator across the Buckinghamshire region as a proportion of the total demand within the Vendors category.
