One the one hand it's crisis now, but on the other hand my time is much cheaper then hourly rate of the US or European developer, so the employer could save money hiring me.

but I do not think that 15$ per hour is a big rate for most companies for senior developer's job.

Let's take a company in say Ohio, where you might pay $70k for a developer with 7 years experience. The total cost to the company is probably about $80k with benefits, etc.
Often the most important part of the news is what they didn't tell.

Personal experience? Figures I've heard would make me estimate more like $120K, but that's including not only salary+benefits (and health insurance isexpensive these days), but physical plant - things like the real estate to hold the employee's desk, the desk/computer/network infrastructure, HVAC, lighting, even liabililty insurance if/as applicable, HR and and accounting admin costs, coffee service (pretty much standard at most places I've worked), even the "rent-a-plants".

Plus, I've whined for years about price being more important than quality. I think that's changing. When people get stressed, they get less tolerant. They want the goods and services they buy to deliver and they want to feel that they're getting good value, rather than just something cheap. When you're unknown, they don't know which you're offering.
That was the point of my analysis.

Also, personally in most companies there are a lot of work they can 'get rid of' or pass to somebody else, I mean fixing of old noncritical bugs, useless custom features implementation, projects support etc. So the job that is not critical for the company and needs to be done somewhere.

I'm not attempting to indicate what the flat dollar cost of an employee in the US Midwest might be, I'm basing this on a quote I saw a LONG time ago that a $35K employee actually costs the company $100K once all the overhead is factored in.
