Nearly 8% of workers in Atlanta are holding down more than one job
#wqeb973newz | Atlanta, GA -📊 Nearly 8% of workers in Atlanta are holding down more than one job—7.7% to be exact—placing the city among the top 10 U.S. metros for multi-jobholding, well above the national average of 5.3%! Many of these workers, especially in education, healthcare, transportation, and hospitality, take on second or even third jobs out of financial necessity rather than choice 💼⏰💸.
Multi-job workers typically clock an average of 44 hours per week, including 13 hours at their additional jobs, but still earn less per week than those with a single job. Women are more likely than men to juggle multiple roles, and the average multi-job worker is 37 years old.
This highlights the ongoing challenges faced by many Atlantans in making ends meet despite working longer hours.
