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.
The chart provides the 3-month moving total beginning in 2004 of IT contractor jobs citing 3GPP within the UK as a proportion of the total demand within the Communications & Networking category.
