The gig economy is on the rise, with approximately 5.4% of U.S. workers taking on a second job in February, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). This trend is driven by technological advancements and economic uncertainty, leading to an increase in freelance and part-time work. As a result, many Americans are turning to multiple jobs to make ends meet, with some embracing the flexibility and autonomy that comes with it. With the job market becoming increasingly complex, it's likely that this trend will continue to grow, making it essential for workers to develop adaptable skills and strategies to thrive in this new landscape, including online job searching and career development.
