    Not sure how you figure contractors are safe.

    there will be an influx of permies applying for contractors posts, and rates will plummet.

    Contractors are doomed

          When I graduated from uni, all I wanted to do was work as a games programmer. At the time there were a lot of stories about the games industry being in a big hole... lead programmers applying for entry-level positions etc. Despite that, I graduated in the north-east (perhaps the region amongst the worst for finding work) with two companies competing to hire me, despite never having worked in the industry before.
          I imagine for those with real skills the work will always be there?

              I think so.

              It's only the carp dithering permies that will suffer.

              Some will receive a golden handshake, others a golden shower.
