[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason the government did contractors in the past was it was easier to fire them same day or cut contracts vs. firing a fed.[/quote] That is one reason. Another is to handle a temporary increase in some kind of work. A third is to get some capability/expertise they cannot find in civil service (e.g., due to GS-15 pay cap or ST pay cap). Some parts of the US Govt like to start (nearly) everyone as a contractor, then convert that person to civil service after they have shown both wlllingness to work and relevant skills for 1-2 years.
