I'm sorry , as OP and a Fed who knows how much contractors make I don't give a rats ass about your layooff. I'm sure you all have had plenty of opportunities to come on board at our shitty pay scale but stayed your course. The outrageous billing of many of these companies is partly to blame for the money shortfall.[/quote]

Also, please remember that not all contractors are raking it in. I make under $60K as a contractor and I'm terrified that I'll be laid off. The last round of layoffs my company had? They let go all the little people, not the ones making 6 figures +. I've been told my position is safe for the next year, but still. I have NO emergency savings bc I live paycheck to paycheck. I'm a single parent and if I get laid off, my kid and I are screwed. I've been working to beef up my resume and get some certifications and training under my belt, but it's not easy and it takes time and money, neither of which I have a lot of.

I have had no opportunities to come on board for the gov't as I'm under 30 and getting hired by the feds at entry level has been damn near impossible the past few years.

Maybe you're right about the senior people at my company and on my contract, but they're not the ones that will lose out if layoffs come down. People like me (young, few very specialized skills, low on the totem pole) are a dime a dozen, I am easily replaceable. Don't forget that it will hit us hard too. [/quote]
