Permies sitting pretty as fifth of contractors see rates cut

What!?

With contractors there are almost twice as many PowerPoint/Gantt Chart NinjasProject Managers as developers, and even with permanent staff the ratio is still 15:13??!! That's insane. It should be closer to 1:12 surely? How can anyone expect to deliver anything on time/budget/spec if between 50 and 66% of the staff are only capable of wittering, arranging meetings and doodling graphics?
