Yeah, this strikes me as bizarre because it goes to show that the money to pay these salaries exists but companies would rather hire contractors than employees.

Fine by me, I went solo 4 years ago and never looked back.
- tgv 5y agoIt's completely true that companies prefer that. It looks better on the balance sheet, or so they and the representatives of their shareholders think. Contract salaries can be put in another column, and they keep telling themselves that they can get rid of this expense whenever they want. Any day now. Right?
- em500 5y agoIt's more difficult in Europe to fire people with a permanent contract. That can make companies more reluctant to hire. As the say of another profession, "I don't pay them to come over, I pey them to go away afterwards".
