"Changes in the work environment have rarely been as dramatic as they've been since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The rise of remote work has altered the traditional work landscape, and flexible hours now rival salary and job security as the most highly valued aspects of work for many employees. A recent LendingTree survey of 2,000 Americans found that 51% of remote workers make extra money while working their principal job,"
"Part-time work is on the rise too. According to Statista, about 28 million individuals worked part time in the United States in 2024. This represents a 13.7% increase from 2020 and a huge increase from 1990, when there were just over 20 million part-time employees in the U.S. There are lots of factors to consider when choosing between a part-time job and a side gig.
