oDesk reveals statistics on offshore outsourcing

Ever wonder how different countries compare when it comes to outsourcing?  Where the most talented developers, designers, and writers are located?  How average rates vary around the world, or which countries buyers have had the best experiences with?

We’ve pulled together statistics on our top provider countries in the outsourcing oConomy to help you find answers to these questions.  We’ve created 7 “featured country” pages, each with an interactive map showing top provider cities, charts showing the country’s hourly rates & average feedback versus the oDesk average, and breakdowns of the type of work being done in each country.  We’ve also included other useful information, including time zones, holidays, and languages spoken in the countries, and listed each country’s most active providers.

We hope that the pages will be a valuable resource to both buyers (in making oDesk hiring decisions), and providers (in comparing their statistics to their country averages).  We encourage a healthy discussion around these statistics, and feedback on what other stats may be interesting & useful down the road.  Links to the new Featured Country pages are below:

The stats have also been summarized in a slideshare presentation.
