Got a “side hustle”?

Do you have a “side hustle”…i.e a second (or third) job?

It’s way more common than it used to be.

A new SWNS survey of Americans with full-time jobs found that almost a third have another job to bring in extra money.

They spend an average of 16 hours a week on Job #2 and earn an extra $14,705 a year after taxes…not chump change!

Why? More money, of course…but almost half said their extra job is something they enjoy doing and a third say it’s a way to pursue one of their passions.

What are the most common second jobs?

  • Beauty, health and wellness jobs like hairdressers or personal trainers
  • Art, music and entertainment jobs like wedding DJs or event planners
  • Retail sales jobs either an online business or working at a store
  • Finance jobs like financial planning or doing people’s tax returns
  • Home improvement jobs like handyman work and gardening

Do you have a “side hustle”? What’s yours?
