A recent survey of 2,000 full-time U.S. workers indicates significant employee anxiety about economic stability and job security. Many employees are dissatisfied with their current situations and seek greater input from employers as well as increased work flexibility. Financial pressures, exacerbated by economic uncertainties, have prompted 20% of respondents to take on second jobs, with 57% considering it. The desire for remote work has increased, with many willing to accept pay cuts for more flexible arrangements, indicating a need for employers to adapt to these shifting priorities.
Rising employee preoccupations with working a second job, along with their pandemic experiences of having worked from home, made flexibility a top priority for all but 11 percent of participants.
An additional 57 percent say they're looking to do so, for the same reasons of financial pressures and concerns about economic stability.
About a third said their desire for fully remote employment was higher than it was a year ago, with 26 percent saying the same for hybrid.
Their own money concerns-and the increased fears about the economy's future that 80 percent of respondents expressed-led nearly 20 percent of participants to say they'd already taken on a second job or side hustle.
