The answer to your question: Are temporary workers employees or employers? Of course, they are employers not employees. We can call them temporary employees because they perform temporary work, get paid and that's it.

As for which is better, temporary work or a job, the answer varies from person to person. Some people are better suited to freelancing, while others are only suited to jobs. This depends on the individual's situation and skills. However, for me, I prefer freelancing to a job.
in work of course it will vary depending on the profession of the person, and they are the ones who determine the income they get but all jobs will be easier to do depending on our choice, if we want a stable income and guarantees that will be obtained of course a permanent job will be chosen and I will continue in that direction to start it. rather than freelance but it all depends on us to choose of course for a better future.
I respect your opinion but I disagree slightly. From personal experience I can say that a permanent job is no better than freelancing. I was a permanent government employee for many years, then left my job and moved into freelancing.

It's true that a permanent job offers a fixed salary and some other benefits, but it restricts the worker to long hours and a small salary. Freelancing, on the other hand, gives you control over your time and the freedom to work whenever you want, according to your circumstances and earn a higher wage.
Perhaps in some developed countries that offer high salaries and shorter working hours a permanent job might be better.
That would be that still depending on certain factors because freelancing isnt for all. Why?

1. Not all do have the skills specially if you arent tech savy
2. Not all do have that own computer on their own home
3. Not all are knowledgeable about online opportunities
4. They are contented into their work as of this moment

Each person is different when it comes to mindset on which there would be those individuals who do want to step up in terms of income source and some there are those who do want to stay still or getting contented on what they do have now. Actually if we do literally make up some comparison about into those people who do earn up into those traditional works in compared into freelancing then it is that a couple of times higher if we do speak about salary but of course it will be that still depending or basing up into the skills that you do have and just like been said that not all will be that having some digital skills on which they can offer. There would be different sets of expertise and skills on which not everyone could be able to do such work and thats why its not possible for them to switch up.

Although if we speak about possibilities or career shift, then its possible but it will be needing up another again some time for you to learn up the skills and it takes time and thats why they would be discouraged and just that decided to stick into their current works. Actually it will be that still depending on you because we do have our own preference and we do have our own decisions or goals in life and thats why it will be just that depending on you on how you do make out such adjustments.
