One of the reasons they hire people per job is its hard finding people that will stick with even the 1 time jobs. they grab the money and run. Not all mind you. Some.
thats the reason to pay someone monthly like a salary. that person will stick around and will always be available. if a drive crashes, they will wake up and fix everything and get you making money much faster than if you didnt have that person.
if you are US based, and you hire a contract programmer to be available to you for 2k/month. thats like hiring a programmer for a salary of 24k per year and you dont have to pay for medical or unemployment or anything. Thats pretty cheap.
and there are plenty of others out there that will take a monthly retainer less than my company does.
