Popularity of Contract Jobs?

Some time back which is about last year, someone commented in the TODAY newspaper that statistically contract jobs now are very popular.

SMACK the person for saying that! Where did you ever get that statistics from is NOT TRUE at all! Contract jobs should not be classified as being popular as they comes with an expiry date. In addition to that, it doesn't even comes with benefits like the below:

Bad Contract Jobs
1. No Annual Leave
2. No Medical Leave
3. No Hospital Leave
4. No Childcare Leave
5. No Training privilege
6. No 13th month bonus privilege
7. No company share options
8. & many more NO ... NO...

Slightly Better Contract Jobs
1. Annual Leave
2. Medical Leave
3. Medical Claim or See company doctor
4. End of Contract Bonus (for 1 year contract mostly only)

The reason why people take up contract jobs is because they most likely have no other choices. It may be paying well then other non-contract jobs or because they have End of Contract Bonus. Besides that, no one wants to get expired and contract not renewed or even worst to find out one day you are out of a job because economy not doing well and the company you working for is unable to keep you. So your statistically is WRONG!
