Is it my imagination, or is there a disproportionately high number of jobs that are on fixed-term contracts until March 2011 (here in the UK, at least)? If I'm not imagining this, then what's the reason? Is it to do with the imminent new tax year, when the companies will be going over their books and deciding whether to keep someone on at the company? It's not that important, I'm just curious.

Thanks for anyone who can shed some light on this!
