33. Yes, a lot of IT work is contract
through contracting companies.

Outsourcing is on a continuum. First they outsourced to others in America, now they outsource to others overseas (India and now China.)

*sigh*

It's cheaper for the company (in their minds) to not have to worry about paing bennies and pensions to contract workers. In practice I don't think so, but I'm not a number cruncher, I'm a writer and editor.
