Is the Rise of Contract Workers Killing Upward Mobility?

I used to do contracting in Germany and the US. In Germany there was an understanding that you have a higher risk and therefore a contractor should make more money than an employee to compensate for that risk. In the US most companies view contractors as cheap labor and pay their employees more. No idea how general this is. It's just my personal experience.

Thanks, I had the impression it was something like that. In the UK a lot of the best people are contractors.

A lot of the awful ones too, mind!
