The gig economy is on the rise, with approximately 5.4% of US workers holding multiple jobs as of February, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). This trend is driven by technological advancements and economic uncertainty, leading to an increase in freelance and part-time work. As a result, more Americans are taking on second jobs to make ends meet, driving a shift towards a more flexible and dynamic workforce. With the rise of remote work and online job platforms, it's becoming easier for people to juggle multiple jobs and careers, making the term 'multi-jobber' a new norm. Key factors such as job security and financial stability are driving this change.
