Gen Z are 'overemployed,' holding down 5 jobs and earning over $3k a day-and it's totally legal
Briefly

Overemployment, or polyworking, is becoming a notable trend, especially among Gen Z with 93% engaged in multiple jobs. 40% of all workers reportedly juggle two jobs, leading to enhanced earning potential. Soham Parekh's case has sparked discussions about the implications of remote work allowing such arrangements, where bosses express concerns about quality and loyalty. Experts clarify that, particularly in the U.S. and UK, no laws prohibit multiple jobs, though employees may be bound by clauses to prioritize their primary job.
"Employment experts say there's no law outright prohibiting holding down multiple jobs at once-at least not in the U.S. or UK."
"Research by Paychex from back in 2023 found a staggering 40% of workers were juggling two jobs, with Gen Z being the most prolific 'polyworkers' at 93%."
