A friend of mine has worked for just about every defense contractor the state has to offer. If he was hired as an hourly employee and earned OT, he was almost always laid-off at the end of the job. Conversely, if he was salaried and worked a crap-ton of hours for a project, he usually kept his job after the contract until the next one came along.
It can work, but I think it is rare to find a company in the position to invest in their employees right now. Hopefully that will change and it will become the norm.

And some of those that are in the position to invest are not willing to because their charter is to maximize shareholder value. Things always go in cycles, those companies that are taking advantage of their employees will quickly find themselves looking for new ones once things turn around.
