I thought this was a pretty interesting poll on Hacker News asking how much people billed per hour, so I decided to make a histogram. It uses a Dapper feed so the results should be updated either hourly or in real time. You’ll need to have javascript enabled to view the poll. If it doesn’t appear after a few seconds, try refreshing.

The bottom axis is how much a person charges per hour, the left axis is the frequency.

To be fair, this poll doesn’t specify what type of consulting work you do, but being Hacker News, it probably has something to do with computers.
