Alexandrea Ravenelle studies the decline of the one-job era.
The sociologist chronicles the spread of the gig economy and the rise of “poly-working,” or working multiple jobs. Ravenelle points to research by the Federal Reserve that found 16% of American adults engage in gig work, and a recent report by H&R Block that showed that millennials work, on average, two jobs.
“It’s going to take two jobs to give you the same status of living that earlier generations could enjoy with one job,” Ravenelle said.
