Don't understand the question. Government hires contractors because it is cheaper and less liable to hiring restrictions and regs associated with direct-hire government employees. Benefits and job security are so, so good for government employees that even accounting for company profits, contractors are still cheaper - you can get rid of a contractor whenever you want, don't have to employee them for life, and no pension.
