Contract work is almost always paid more than salaried employees. You have to remember there are companies with 100 people who have 2 programmers that don't really have the cash flow to pay as much as larger companies. Since the vast majority of businesses are small business, the average gets dragged down.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
