Millennials Outpace
Other Age Groups for Taking on Side Gigs
Millennials significantly outpace other age groups for
taking on side jobs, according to a CareerBuilder survey released
today.
The survey found 29% of workers have a side job, a trend
that is especially strong among the millennial demographic.
Forty-four percent of those ages 25 to 34 and 39% of those 18 to 24
have a side gig, compared to 29% of those 35 to 44, 22% of those 45
to 54 and 19% of those ages 55 and older.
Workers at all income levels take on side work, the survey
found. Nearly one in five workers with a side gig, 18%, make more
than $75,000, and 12% of those making more than $100,000 currently
have a gig outside of their full-time job. This is compared to a
third of workers, 34%, making below $50,000 and 34% earning below
$35,000.
Proportion of employees taking side jobs and their
industries follow as:
Leisure and hospitality: 34%
Retail: 33%
Transportation: 32%
Healthcare: 30%
Sales: 30%
IT: 27%

"Side hustles not only provide financial benefits to
workers, but they make them more attractive candidates to
employers, especially in a competitive job market," said Rosemary
Haefner, chief human resources officer at CareerBuilder. "When
you're applying to jobs, especially when you're at the start of
your career, other applicants could have more experience in your
particular field. If you bring more skill sets to the table and
have a unique perspective on how things can be done, you're sure to
stand out from the crowd and be seen as a valuable potential
hire."
