I am relatively young, single and no real financial burdens, so am happy to contract while there is work. As the country is in a double-dip recession, there is not an enourmous amount of work so the client can chose to be picky. This sends 3 types of people back to permi-dom
1) The blagger - clients are now more picky, and i have noticed are requiring technical tests so the blaggers have decided to get a junior permie job and actually get some skills.
2) The less skilled - There are less junior contract roles, so people with outdated skills or juniors are moving to permanent skills are moving to permanent roles.
3) Those requiring job security - Contractors with significant financial commitments are seeking shelter in permie roles to "weather the storm" as contract work is not as plentiful as it once was.
