America is richer than Australia.

There's part of your problem. Few people trust telecommuters they don't 
know unless the job is fairly clear. I know I don't. I have telecommuters 
working for us on occasion but I know them or I trust them based on knowing 
them through a third party.

You're lucky you get what you get and the price you get it. You're cutting 
yourself down of opportunities by having to work at home.

I don't mean to be so frank about it. But really... this is a huge factor. 
It's a great luxury to work at home but it rarely works out unless you are 
really highly motivated or highly disciplined. Some people are like that, 
unfortunately this is not the majority of people so adding the project 
management overhead on behalf of the client means having to drop the hourly 
wage to the work-at-home consultant.
