Job Posts by buyer skill demand, and active oDesk Job Skills
I really appreciate the oConomy, it is a good way to study such statistics and graphs and I am hoping that there would be more insightful graphs and charts that would be very much helpful to both buyers and providers.
Please consider adding charts or graphs indicating buyer skill demand (per category) and also active oDesk provider skills (per category). I think these trends provides an insightful way to see which skills are very much in demand in oDesk workplace.
And with each category, it is even more useful to be able to drill down on the data. For example, if there is a buyer demand for PHP programming, then another graph or chart which breaks down the details of these PHP skills.
Another thing, active charge rates are very important too. I am hoping I could also see active charge rates per category. This is important to put up a good bidding and charge rate for both buyers and providers.
Nonetheless, the oConomy is a good start for this marketplace. Well done and I do hope you will consider my suggestions.
