Multiple jobholder rates are the highest they’ve been since the Great Recession – Sherwood News

“…a single paycheck isn’t cutting it anymore: inflation has driven up the cost of everything — from groceries, to rent, to credit card bills — pushing more Americans to seek extra income. In addition, college degrees (even MBAs) no longer provide a straightforward route into an almost-guaranteed steady job and salary, resulting in an increasing number of grads taking on multiple positions to get by. Per the St. Louis Fed, college graduates now make up around half of the multi-job workforce in the US, up from ~31% at the start of 1994.”
