Another thing to bare in mind is that some positions are posted as contract to hire. I had one of those several years ago where I was contractor for three months and made a permanent employee thereafter. The reason being that during the probation period they could dismiss me at any time without all the paperwork that involved. If they wanted me they would then begin to make me a permanent employee.
I have also met contractors who have been apart of a company for years but do not want to become employees. They have other endeavors that make it more profitable to remain contractors. All that being said, the contractors and employees that work excessive hours are the ones that are working on projects with specific deadlines and are having a difficult time meeting those deadlines.

Not really 100% true... A client may have specific "normal office hours" and, even as an "on-site" contractor, you'd be subject to the hours that the offices are open.... Even if you're an "off-site" contractor, the client may very well expect you to be available during, again, "normal office hours" that they observe. It's not out of the realm of possibility.... At the last place I worked, they had contractors that worked the same basic schedule as everybody else. And being asked/required to be at the office (or available) during normal business hours still does not make you a full time employee of the company. As a full time employee, you then become more expensive, as the client (now employer) will need to put you into their benefits program, on their disability insurance, etc., etc., etc..
