    Is Brexit good for the contract market?

    Woeful contract market since being benched. Just wondering now that we're leaving the EU if there will be an uptick in contract positions because of software changes owing to the Brexit?

    Thoughts?

    Yes, but in Germany - they'll have a lot of projects to remove £ character from everywhere.

        It definitely won't be better short term..
        Might be slightly worse , don't think it will be pretty bad.

        Companies had been holding back investment until the referendum result was known. Will they spend now? Or will those projects simply be cancelled? If company share prices are crushed in the coming days, as many expect in the wake of this Brexit vote, firms may well cancel them. If so, our national output will suffer immediately. There is a danger that consumers – who have been driving the recovery since 2013 – retrench too in the wake of this vote, pushing us into recession again.

          I don't think even the 2nd coming of Jesus would save some of you....

          Have you though of retraining in something more suitable for you?

            Brexit is great for the market. Reading two other threads here, interest rates are simultaneously going to be cut and raised so as to reduce mortgage repayments and improve the economy.
            Of course, with £350million a week to spend, the government can buy in contractors at a higher rate.

            Happy days.

                Firms more likely to take on temporary resources than commit to permanent resource?

                  Slightly OT, but this made me chuckle:
