That I don't know. But the contractor market in the US is very different to the contractor market in the UK and EU. And from hiring in both US and UK, my experiences have been that US employees are more comparable to UK contractors in terms of rights and pay.

did you account for rsu value too or just basepay/hours . now that i am a perm employee a big share of my comp comes from rsu.
I think they suggested that in the US employees are paid better than contractors, but have low job security.
I feel that the opposite is the case.
