It would be interesting to see the results of the poll run at another time, to capture more people from different countries. Sometimes there are more people from India on HN.
I think the purpose of this particular poll is mainly for this one person's edification and pertains to their own situation and location, not the world at-large. However, I understand your suggestion.
I don't see any location specification. And today that doesn't matter very much due to telecommuting.
