That’s good. People need to work and generate income.
If you are questioning the absolute number, it is primarily a mundane product of us population growth.
On a % basis it is below late 90s levels so the recent uptick has been mean reversion post covid.
Its because the economy is doing great guys!!!
Because your first job doesn’t pay enough and/or doesn’t provide enough hours to survive on one job.
Bubble Boomers blocking reform. They got theirs, FU.
All I hear in this group is that the economy is doing “fine” . Impossible to believe
How do those people working two highly paid work from home jobs fit in?
The number doesn’t matter. The percentage does.
I want to check their criteria. I might qualify as having two jobs as I report tax income from two employers. But one is a seasonal side hustle and the other is 95% of my income.
3% wage increase for 20$/hr lower class hits different than 3% wage increase for 50$/hr middle class income earners because the price of cereal doubled from 3$ to 6$.
People figured out that you can have multiple, full time, WFH jobs. I have about a dozen friends doing this, and they all make $300k+. It’s all about how you manage your time.
Don’t allow yourself to get f’ed over by businesses.
Why? Have you seen the economy? Have you seen the prices of things?

As a percentage of the workforce it’s just about its 30 year average. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNS12026620
Hooray?
