NearSkill lists 444 live roles advertised at $100+/hr or more, grouped into 426 role families. Of the 444 USD hourly listings, the median advertised rate is $120/hr. The middle 50% sits between $105 and $150/hr, and the full posted range is $100 to $350/hr. These are advertised rates, not earnings.

Figures were computed from the live job feed on November 15, 2026. Counts and pay move as listings are added or closed. NearSkill does not estimate missing pay, and non-USD rates are excluded from the USD medians rather than converted.
