16 contract adverts from named employers. No day-rate figure is published yet. Day rates are never converted into annual salaries, because that would mean inventing a working-days assumption the employer never made.
See live contract jobsHow we compute these
From live adverts. Band midpoints of live permanent listings, from employers’ own careers sites only. A figure is published only when its sample clears 5 adverts, 3 distinct employers, and no single employer holding more than half of them. Some employers state pay in a pay field; some only in the wording of the advert, which we read and label as our reading. The two are counted separately on every figure. Annual salaries and day rates are never converted into each other.
We never merge these series into one statistic, and we publish no figure whose sample size, employer count and concentration we would not show you next to it.
