The share of working Americans holding down multiple jobs rose to between 5.3% and 5.5% during the first five months of the year. That’s a range we haven’t seen since the recession of the aughts, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Whether an increase in second jobs portends a recession is only half the point. People are side-hustling like we are already in one.
It’s a testament to our collective unease and further evidence that careers will look very different than they used to.
Holding one job at a time is on the way to becoming antiquated, or a luxury, for emerging generations.
