I've had contracts that lasted as long as 11 months and as short as 2 months (which is my current contract)

Going into a job, what is the average stated anticipated duration of a TW 
contract assignment.

A recruiter from the Boston area recently told me that 99% of all contract 
jobs are initially for three months, but that the majority are subsequently 
boosted-up to a duration of six months or more.  How does this sound?

Note: I have read that the average stated duration going into a contract job 
is six months.

Thanks
