I have no current information. My last contract was short term (2004) in a small market. ISTR about $40/hr. It was still far more than unemployment.
This was at a "remote location" from my primary residence. I rented an apt (written off) $40/day in meals (written off). Travel to/from my primary residence (written off) SSA, etc. Taxes (written off). Mileage to/from apt/workplace (written off). I paid taxes on much less than the gross (and at a far lower rate that the IRS would have liked. <snip> Prior to 9/11 and the 2002 recession, contract rates ranged from $85-$125 per hour in the major metropolitan areas and $60-$80 elsewhere. Are they still depressed or have they rebounded? </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
