Raw Charts from Survey


* The above survey is conducted on the basis of assuming the highest hourly rate of a respondent is equal to or less than 10$. Goal is to target the “at least” type of stats. We understand many professionals in the country do earn over 10$ an hour. However, such higher values would mean higher averages, thus even if responded earns more than 10$, we encourage responded to simply select 10$.
