I have always wondered about the reason for this. But I guess its mostly because letting go a consultant is less expensive than firing an employee.

It could be outsourcing, but also could be consulting. I have an impression (and no way backed by data), that half jobs around here are not direct employee but people working for a consulting company, even tho they're 100% daily working for a client.

But even those consulting companies are having issues getting new developers but don't seem to be getting their salaries much higher.
