I disagree. Generally working 40+ hours at one company brings significant benefits like health insurance or retirement plans. Working two part-time jobs wouldn't do that. Plus there's a significant cost with context switching. 40 hours at two jobs will have more overhead than 40 hours at one job.
- pb7 6y agoAgreed with all points and that's likely the case for the majority of these people. But there is probably still a non-trivial number of people that are working 32+ hours at one job and 10-20 at another that would fall into these statistics that would receive benefits. More data can't hurt. Existing laws are clearly being gamed. Edit: Also, these stats will exclude people that are working just one job but still under the benefits threshold which is not good either. "Working two jobs" is just too broad of a statement to be actionable.
