The number of Americans working multiple jobs reached an all-time high of about 8.9 million in February, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
About 60% of those multiple jobholders are working full time, with a part-time gig in their off-hours. Others are stringing together multiple part-time jobs.
Anika Seidman-Gati started picking up shifts last spring for a pop-up restaurant in New York City. By day, she’s a therapist for students at a New York college.
She’s used to working multiple jobs and did it for most of her 20s. But after a recent stint as a server from Thursday through Saturday, with shifts that sometimes ended after midnight, she’s finding the balancing act a bit exhausting.
