A female relative of mine is a occupational therapist (registered). Over the last 15 years, she's had a series of full time jobs in facilities (mostly retirement care) that each eventually converted into contract-based work, mostly as the facilities consolidated into umbrella companies. In each case, the working conditions have deteriorated to the point where she has been driven to find a new job, but the sense I get is that finding non-contractor work in that field at this point is getting asymptotically more difficult (at least in the mid-Atlantic US).
