    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the measurement and movements of multiple jobholding from 2000-2010. It states that multiple jobholding has remained stable in recent years. It says that in 2009, a total of 7.3 million workers had two or more jobs and the rate of multiple jobholding was 5.2 percent. It mentions that moonlighting among the major demographic groups has become rarer in recent years than during the 1990s. Several studies discovered that the rate of multiple jobholding moved in procyclical manner, declining at times of recessions when jobs were hard to find and increasing during economic development when employment was strong. Surveys have shown that the main reasons for multiple jobholding are economic factors. Also, it presents an overview on the nature of multiple jobholders.
