The first pages made me very skeptical, so I stop to read this. Beyond that there is no data intelligence on these reports, the numbers are weird. It's showing Colombia's hourly rate more expensive than Sweden's. Also, I know very much my homeland market, I am sure that it's wrong. I did not go further.

It’s a clickbait article... any article that claims something about rates, salaries, sales is basically that. They are often completely inaccurate, with data coming from either self reported numbers (best case), or a guess based on a sample of job postings they scraped from somewhere.
Yeah, the whole thing looks to be basically an ad for agencies that have registered with them.

Nice for the agencies, not all that useful to this crowd for data collection. Alot of the numbers are just way, way off from industry standards so it makes me wonder where they got them.
