‘Polyworking’: why do so many millennials have more than one job?

According to a new survey, over half of millennials work more than one job. It's what they have to do in today's economy

Americans are barely staying ahead of inflation. So how are they dealing with this issue? By working more.

That's one of the biggest takeaways from a new study by Academized, an outsourcing platform that connects writers and students. According to the report, more than half of millennials - who make up the largest percentage of workers in this country - are working more than one job to make extra money. What's even more eye-raising is that nearly a quarter (24%) of those workers have three jobs and a third (33%) have four or more income-earning opportunities outside their full-time work.
