"More than half of Americans have worked a side hustle in the past year, according to data from survey platform Pollfish. The numbers get a lot higher for younger people, with 72 percent of Gen-Zers and 62 percent of Millennials working a side gig. There are a growing number of choices if you're looking for ways to supplement your income."
"People are increasingly looking to reclaim some of their time these days. That's opening up a number of opportunities for people to launch side hustles to handle some of the chores that busy people are trying to avoid. One of the fastest-growing side hustles of 2025, for instance, is running a mobile car wash service (which has seen a growth rate of 276 percent in the past year). Food delivery jobs are also seeing higher demand."
"One route to side hustle success is to come up with a unique service other people aren't doing. Specialized side gigs for seniors (such as technical assistance or companionship) or that address cultural or language-specific needs can be a money-making opportunity. If you have a specific area of knowledge, there could be demand for your tutoring or mentorship skills. And as the government leans away from climate issues, there could be an opportunity in sustainability in your community."
More than half of Americans worked a side hustle in the past year, with 72 percent of Gen Z and 62 percent of Millennials participating. A growing variety of side gigs exists to supplement income, and earnings largely depend on individual effort. Time-saving services are rising in demand, including mobile car washes, food delivery, and personal shopping. Offering niche skills such as senior-focused assistance, cultural or language-specific services, tutoring, mentorship, or local sustainability work can create opportunities. The expanding AI sector creates demand for creators of custom GPTs and microtools and for people who can help others adopt AI solutions.
