The first table below looks at the demand for WAP skills in IT contracts advertised across the UK. Included is a guide to the average contractor rates offered in IT contracts that have cited WAP over the 3 months to 17 May 2013 with a comparison to the same period in the previous 2 years. The second table is for comparison and provides aggregates for all of the Application Development category. Note that daily contractor rates and hourly contractor rates are treated separately. When calculating average contractor rates, daily rates are not derived from quoted hourly rates or vice versa.
