Due to lack of inward investments, the high price of crucial imports, and the loss of a large part of the financial market, the economy tanks, and companies tighten their belts. There's a freeze on recruitment, which temporarily boosts contractor requirement for essential projects, but as projects are cancelled, the requirement dwindles. Due to the lack of Freedom of Movement, overseas opportunities for British contractors are essentially nil, except for the most skilled.

Just one of a number of possible scenarios. I'm sure someone can come up with something where the contractor market booms.

Anecdotal evidence suggests FDI is falling already. And the City is going to take a big hit. I hope to be proved wrong but the contract market especially for commodity skills is likely to decline sharply in about a year or so. So glad my mortgage is paid off and I have some rental income

Let me try. The economy booms as China, India and the US rush to do trade deals with a superpower Britain. Sales of Spitfires and Austin Allegros soar as England wins the World Cup. Hot crumpets and warm beer are in fashion again as immigrants pile on planes to be deported. The NHS get millions of pounds a week extra. All contractors are on a 1000 pounds a day

Complete Doom.

I'd say move to Permiedom ASAP and leave the contract market to us brave souls.
