Overall, 29% of workers have a second job, but millennials far outpace other age groups. About 39% percent of workers ages 18-24 and 44% of workers ages 25-34 reported earning extra cash on the side. In comparison, 29% of workers ages 35-44 and 22% of those ages 45-52 are hustling with a side gig, according to CareerBuilder’s survey of roughly 3,200 full-time workers in the private sector across all industries and company sizes. Nineteen percent of those ages 55 and older are also working a second job.Total bullshit This is Obama's economy and everyone that can think knows that. Who told you this shit, I bet it was Scum Bag and of course he always tells the truth.And you think your making some point here. No other president in history has used lies more then scum bag. In fact I'd guess that the second place liar, lied 1/100 of what scum bag has lied. You people are sick. This pig is yours 100%. He is this countries biggest threat today as is his supporters who sold out the rest of us for hate and boy do you fit in that bracket.
Yes, he is ours 100% That's why we have a booming economy today, that's why jobs are moving back to the country, that's why unemployment records were broken for minorities and women, that's why we broke a record for small business confidence; our largest employers. That's how we got out of crummy deals like the Paris Accord and Iran. That's why we have open communications with Kim Jong. That's why we have a President who in his two and a half years in office, donated every paycheck to charity. He's not making a dime.
But OH! He lies a lot. Give me a break.

View attachment 266707 Hell If no one was in office the market should have done better This is all Obamas. As always your so easy to make a fool out of , when you let someone think for you who is a total lying piece of shit.![]()
Liberals are such suckers for lies.
In our review, we found many reasons why unemployment is low, and not for the overwork that Ocasio-Cortez cited. The biggest factors include strong economic confidence and the long-running economic recovery. (Her campaign did not respond to an inquiry.)
"Everyone has two jobs"
The Bureau of Labor Statistics keeps track of how many people work two jobs rather than just one.
Over the past 12 months, the number of multiple job holders has ranged between 6 million and 7 million. That compares to more than 148 million Americans who are employed in a single job.
The percentage has moved in a pretty narrow band — 4.7 percent to 5.2 percent — during the recovery from the Great Recession. That range is actually below where it was between 1994 and the Great Recession. In fact, the percentage was at its highest (as high as 6.5 percent) during the peak of the 1990s boom.
Ocasio-Cortez wrong on several counts about unemployment
Pew:
Adding up everyone who has performed at least one of these three activities, some 24% of American adults have earned money in the “platform economy” over the last year.
Intuit:
"The gig economy...is now estimated to be about 34% of the workforce and expected to be 43% by the year 2020," Intuit (INTU) CEO Brad Smith said Wednesday on an earnings call. "We think self-employed [work] has a lot of opportunity for growth as we look ahead."
McKinsey Global Institute:
The number of independent workers is being undercounted by governments in the U.S. and Europe—and that is contributing to glaring gaps in labor market policy, according to a large study released this morning by the McKinsey Global Institute.
My source is Politifact which is a very left leaning site. Now I can understand close figures, but the first link you posted was off the charts. The other links are simply explaining how others make money without working for a company.
Speaking of which, I think that's where your first source calculated their information from. My nephew buys and sells baseball cards over the internet and at various shows that come to town. He doesn't do it for money, he does it out of enjoyment like most others doing the same thing.
As for myself, I have a full-time job, but I'm also a landlord. I would be a person with two jobs according to your first source, but it's hardly the truth. Most of the rent money I bring in goes out to bills I have to pay for the properties. Yes, when I retire the rental income will be a valuable supplement to my SS and IRA, but I hardly consider it an additional job.
When we talk about people with two jobs, it's out of necessity which doesn't include people who do it for a hobby or experimental. That's where the study Politifact sited got their information from. If 30 some percent had two jobs to make ends meet, that would mean about 1/3 of the people I know would have two jobs. I know very few of them, and the ones I do know are older people who have had two jobs for many years now. Given I work with different people every day, I can honestly say I don't see that. Most everybody I work with has one full-time job.
