In a way a bad sign that jobs aren’t paying, or the jobs are so fake you can have another.
But if there’s a trend it would also mean less reliance on a specific job.
But could also be flexibility to have multiple part time maybe. Or just two jobs in a short time, if you want to.
Many ways to interpret the stats 😊 both good and bad.
Not saying it is not true. But in my whole life as a Dutchie I have not met a single person with two jobs other than being it volunteery work.
I wonder whether it also includes paid homecare (‘mantelzorg’) or volunteery work for which compensation is paid because of its nature (eg, military reserve)
Oh wow. 10% in the Netherlands. I have never met such a person, so I am curious in what bubble I am that I don’t know a cohort that represents 10% of the population.
For others like me who are surprised, here an article by CBS regarding this combination:
Apparently it are mostly young, high earning, highly educated people in the service sector who like the diversity of multiple jobs in different settings.
Rare statistic where Bulgaria is actualy doing well. Though it’s not black and white. Someone having the opportunity of having two jobs probably means the country has good infrastructure (to travel from one workplace to the other), which is definitely not true for Bulgaria. What do we think?
Yeah cool, someone made a stat of people with two DECLARED jobs. Who would even consider declaring a second job in eastern Europe?
Now show 3 jobs for plot twist…
I wonder how they define it. And I bet there’d be a ton more if it was possible to account for all the gigs and stuff.
10% of the Dutch labor market is working two jobs?
How…odd.
Unreported jobs not considered, otherwise Hungary would be around 20-30%. Income until 200k Huf per month doesn’t need to be reported as a side income,like selling your garden vegetables.
how is this study done? it seems pretty high for some countries, is it like 2 parttime jobs counts? as i really don’t think that’s what people think when you say “i work 2 jobs” it’s either 2 full or close to fulltime jobs or a fulltime and a parttime.
Didn’t expect Finland to be so high. Legit anytime I tell anyone I work a full time job and a part time job people think that’s weird. Even my doctor told me that’s not normal.
And it’s not that I need the money. I just haven’t been able to make any friends here so I can either spend my weekend completely alone or work a side gig at a bar, get free beer, and socialize with our regulars.
As a Bulgarian I can confirm I never met someone that works 2 jobs
From my bubble I know of two people with two jobs in Denmark.
One is dealing with two part time jobs that add together to around 42 hours a week.
The other works within software and has two full time jobs that he can finish within 40 hours a week.
The latter pays a lot more than the first.
>UNREPORTED JOBS ARE NOT INCLUDED.
This is the biggest most important thing on this infographic. Reason being that it’s mostly jobs that are in “black” countries like in the PIGS (Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain) will do a second unreported job a lot more than in countries like Germany or the Netherlands where it’s more likely to be reported.
I’m not saying it’s the case but I’d rather say this graph shows working and tax compliance rather than more jobs per person.
Under 2% in Greece is **wildly** wrong. Exactly because second jobs are unreported
Greece? 1.74%?
*Unreported jobs are not considered in this map.
Yeah that explains it.
Could this actually mean “side hustle” instead of two jobs?!
I’d like a job, please, thank you. Getting two would be a miracle.
As an european living in the UK it is sad to see UK outside of the map 🙁
me
Percentage in Greece at least 15-20%. Second jobs are usually undocumented.
Seems absurdly low. Probably self employed people like me are not included. I routinely work for 3+ companies
does this take in account “minijobs” for germany? you can have a job with 538€ per month that doesn’t count towards your taxed income.
My mother is a teacher and works at 3 schools so I guess she is above and beyond for Poland
We in the netherlands need double jobs to afford our groceries 🙂 i love living in the Netherlands
Seems legit. I’m 35 and have never met a single person working 2 jobs here.
This is vastly inaccurate. I know so many greek people with two jobs in different age groups. It’s kind of normal but perhaps less documented for tax reasons
I expected Germany to have a higher percentage because of the mini job.
Remember when one working person could support a whole family. Remember when a good job could get you a decent house and a car? Remember? Now that is impossible because some people are hoarding all the wealth like never before…
It all seems too low. What is a second job anyway? I know a lot of people in science who work somewhere and also teach 2 hours per week and I don’t think they even consider that as a second job.
“Two official jobs”, most people that have side hustles don’t report them… that is kind of the point. You have your main occupation for security and stability and on the side you make some money as a hobby or in more risky/unpredictable occupation.
Most people I know have “side hustle” in Lithuania, men do car repairs, painting, decoration etc. Women – nails, hair etc. But it would never be reported. In fact I only know few people who work in say Bank and then also are Lecuring in University and it counts as 2 occupations. But this is extremely rare.
Are we talking full time ? And if so how does that work out? I mean working 9+9 H leaves you with almost nothing left?
At last someone labels their maps correctly and knows the difference between the EU and Europe.
The average American cannot understand this post
Let me fix the title “contries with people who want to work”. It’s not like Spain has a great jobs to income ratio…
I can speak for the hospitality business that it’s common for foreign nationals to have a full time and part time job because full time in Finland is 37.5 hours a week. In most countries you couldn’t survive with those hours….or just get bored. Many of my cooks freelance either before or after their full time jobs.
Having been to Italy many times to visit my wife’s family, they barely even do a full time job. More often just work to pay bills plus a little and then relax.
Even the taxi drivers in Naples were like that !
When do you get time for second job? I work in government sector and I can’t find time to breathe with just one job.
Had no idea Netherlands was that high
My family has a small business with flower decoration, it’s a 2nd job for us as we are having our own job. Does that count as having 2 jobs? I see that people don’t push themselves in Europe.
Now do USA
Lazy Bulgarians as usual.
Very fascinating!
Would be interesting to see these statistics with EEC brought into the mix as well

No parttime jobs in Bulgaria. Explains it
