Although nobody should have to work more than one job, it is not particularly common. https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2021/02/new-way-to-measure-how-many-americans-work-more-than-one-job.html census.gov in a post from early 2021 posted:Over the entire 22-year time period from the second quarter of 1996 to the first quarter of 2018, the multiple jobholding rate has averaged 7.2% of all employed individuals, according to the LEHD data.

Would that even count gig workers? They aren't employees. They don't have employers.

A shitload of American economic data is terrible, both by design and otherwise, there's a reason there's so many articles about 'Why are people do down about the economy that's obviously doing great? The ungrateful plebs don't know how good they have it!'

Depends on if gig workers even count as employed. They should but they might fall under self employed instead of regular employed and I don't know how that interacts with this data. People taking multiple gig work jobs may only count as one job since it's all self employed.

People taking multiple gig work jobs may only count as one job since it's all self employed. I doubt the data collection has kept up with the situation. A guy who does deliveries and ride shares might have half a dozen apps on his phone, or phones, all at the same time and take the jobs that pay the most at any given moment. There's no point in having loyalty to one app over all others, they certainly don't have any loyalty to you. There are guys who own multiple properties and use air b&b as their main source of income, but would that count as a job?

We make decent money (20+/hour) in the midwest so COL is low, but some people still struggle to get by. One person I know has two jobs (one full time, one part time/seasonal) AND a side hustle, but she's the type that is incapable of relaxing.

I'm early 30's in Texas and most of the people I know have a "Real Job" and some other sort of side gig, weather it's the occasional bartending, driving for uber eats, something illegal that definitely wouldn't be reported to the government, some kind of performance gig playing music in bars or fairs, or now incresingly commonly, legal sex work like Only Fans.

I'm in my forties and working an under the table farm job and a side hustle to make 50% more nights and weekends. 80 hour weeks, but I can barely make rent and other mandatory payments while still living check to check.

I work a 9-5 office job, and own my own freelancing llc. I don't work constantly but I do big projects now and then, I don't know how that would be counted but have filed both 1099 and business taxes depending over the years in addition to my normal taxes.

Inedible penguin actually said nobody should have to. You're just being weirdly contrarian for some reason with someone who agrees with you. Which I guess is your gimmick.

I got mine this summer. Incredibly easy to get, free for life, and they'll replace the card if you ever lose it. I honestly wept ugly tears at Cedar Breaks when they gave it to me, so grateful to have access to not only national parks but all national lands: forests, fish and wildlife, and others but I'm forgetting right now. I camped for free across the country this summer on the power of the pass.

InediblePenguin posted:I was correcting your claim of 5%, and if you're looking at the actual numbers of "1 out of every 13 people, and this probably doesn't even count people who do app gig bullshit" and still thinking that's not common, well, uh, ok i guess, what WOULD you count as common, at that point i do genuinely wonder It should be completely unheard of, but in the context of the original conversation iirc the implication was "most people," as in it's on the balance safe to assume.
