What work goes for here: median asks and competition

Median asking prices, job counts and proposals per job by category, from real data on this site. Categories without enough samples stay blank — we would rather show nothing than invent a number.

• Median asking price, job count and proposals per job for every category, all from real jobs and proposals on this site.
• These are numbers from this site, not a survey of the whole market. The difference matters most while the sample is still small.
• Every figure needs at least five data points. Below that a median is one or two people’s prices, and it would be read as the going rate.
• What freelancers ask and what was actually agreed are separate columns. Those two numbers differ a lot, and confusing them leads people to negotiate against a number nobody paid.
• Recalculated on every visit — no cached figures.
• Markets are separated by country and cross-border bidding is not allowed, so these are local prices, not a global average dragged down by underbidding.
