Not sure this is true. I started contracting in the UK as a programmer in 2001, no qualifications, a high school drop out. Outside London (the north) I could make £300 a day back then pretty steady. Never been short of work for long, always contracted. Not needed my CV for 15 years at this point and £800-£900 a day is common amongst peers. My story also doesn't feel unusual amongst people I work with. Subjective account, but I've personally only felt the curve going up. Perhaps I'll have my shock one day.
