Americans have embraced the return to normal — traveling, eating out, and seeing movies. But when it comes to work, many have tried something different: saying goodbye to a conventional 9-to-5.
The alternatives? Starting a business, turning to freelance and gig work, or setting stricter work-life boundaries.
For some, the switch was necessary following a layoff, while others simply weren’t happy at their jobs. If the labor market weakens, even those who are perfectly fine with the 9-to-5 lifestyle could find themselves pursuing non-traditional work to make ends meet. They will face challenges, but for some, it could be a blessing in disguise.
