I think it'd be cool to see more visualizations of that data. What percentage was around the median and mean? What percentage of people charged under $50/hr?

Indeed, very little substance here. They couldn't even be bothered to indicate the time interval their "rate" applies to. One assumes hours, but it's not stated anywhere on the page. $93/hour? Day? Week? Project?

Point taken, but if you look at the results page (linked in the post), it's a lot more clear: http://bigswing.com/ios-rates-2013

Ah, thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for.

The heavier font weight didn't register and I completely missed the links in the body of the text. Maybe they need to be set off more, or maybe I just need more coffee :)

Beautiful, that's exactly what I wanted to see. I agree with the other commenter who missed the link. You should combine those into one page.

I will freely admit that I suck as stats and data viz. We'll track the feedback and add to the results page.

Hey Rick, I'd humbly suggest that you load the dataset into Statwing, and you'll get visualizations (histograms, scatterplots, etc.) and stats out of the box, as well as a link to share so others can play with the data.

Or ping me at contact at statwing.com and I can do the data-loading stuff for you (I'm a cofounder).
