As a contractor, I think this is... complicated. Quarantine may help WFH situation. For example, my bank is increasing their capacity to support remote which until now was 1 day a week at most. Teams also learn to deal with the situation which will improve my ability to be productive when WFH in the future. On the other hand it seems only a portion of population is able to be efficient when working from home. I find that very large portion of my team treats WFH as a kind of paid vacation where they seem to produce zero to almost zero. Will not join meetings and will be only available on Skype just to pretend they are available while in fact doing their own stuff. One just told me he can't discuss a problem with me because he's taking care of his kid. As to contracting/FT jobs, it is also a matter of choice. Most people value stability and they don't want to think about themselves as disposable. Maybe they would like to have career path. What I am saying is that being a contractor has its disadvantages which most people are not very comfortable with.
