Hi, I can only say that we don't notice it, especially your question about IT-contractors. We help many of them, especially for the banks such as ABN AMRO, ING, RBS. But what the food bank is saying is very general. I mean to say, who do you call self employed? A specialist in a certain field of IT is different to me as the consultant for Herbalife or similar (just as an example, I don't mean anything with this). I can imagine that these kind of people are in big trouble now as consumers have to make financial choices. So in my opinion, yes of course we feel what has happened worldwide, but at the same time there's more then enough work going on, especially in the expat market. (I can also imagine that companies prefer to hire someone from abroad for a limited time over a Dutch citizen who cannot be laid off that easy, but this is just a guess)
