    How has your rate tracked over the last 5 years?

    Can it be assumed that, exceptions apart, in general contractor rates have been flat for the most part of the last decade? But just trending over the last 5 years, please indicate if your rate has increased / decreased during this period.

    I think some work needs to be done on polls. I clicked the decreased option. There has only been one response and it put mine into the 'increased 50%' option lol.

    Lies, damn lies and CUK polls.

      No AndyW option so it's a fail poll anyway.

            2007 V
            2008 V + 11% = W

            6 months later

            2008 W - 15% = X

            Change contract

            2010 X + 36% = Y

            Change Contract

            2011 Y - 1.5% = Z

            9 months later

            2011 Z - 10% (Current)

            So since 2007 I am up about 15%

                You want to take the opinions of a random public board, most of which will pick the funniest option just for kicks, document it and put your name against it? Good luck with that.

                  And this paper will be used by you to see whether your rate has kept up with everyone else's?

                    The poll is so statistically biased it's worse than useless.
