Clients getting same work done so not much reason to pay more so rates stay same.
Crap loads of contractors desperate for outside gigs willing to snap your arm off so rates go down.
Increase the rates.. Nope, can't think of a single reason that might happen. Why do you think it might?
Ohh you mean clients up the rate for an inside IR35 gig which means you'll likely still come out with less. Is that what you mean. You see the problem there don't you.
Even if there is an increase in rates for outside gigs there will be so few around it won't really be much of a gauge of anything.

On the recent webinar many people were asking how often new suppliers get work vs those who have received contracts in the past. No idea if they will do the analysis, it would make for interesting reading.Comment

Unemployment rate is at a historical low. There's only one direction for it now to go, unless somehow recession is avoided.
History tells us when unemployment rates rise income rates tank. Indeed a double whammy is often observed as food prices increase at the same time.
