Interesting analogy. At least in the Netherlands, unless you have 3 or 4 contracts in a year, you are not really considered a contractor anyway, you are considered an employee. If you stay contracting more than 50% at a company for more than 2 years, you are not a consultant, you are just an expensive employee. I know that in Australia 20 years ago, there was a big push to make everyone contractors, to get rid of employee obligations, the rules were changed to be similar to NL now, but I don't know what has happened in the meantime.
