Inflation is pushing half of Americans to consider second jobs
“Stubbornly high inflation is pushing more than half of American workers to consider taking a second job, according to a new study from technology company Qualtrics. The survey of more than 1,000 adults with full-time jobs found that 38% have looked for a second job, while another 14% plan to do so, the company said. That means ‘more than half of working Americans have considered holding multiple jobs to pay for their living expenses,’ the company said in a statement. About 7 in 10 working parents said their pay isn’t keeping up with the cost of living. And about 47% have looked for a second job, compared with 38% of workers overall, the analysis found.”
