I would be interested in actual data on if this is an increasing trend or not. When I was in college (graduated in 2015) most of my friends still had a job; be it to pay for school or to fund their weekend drinking activities.
- Loughla 4y agoI think I should've been more specific in my first comment. Significantly more students are working full-time, with a non-significant amount indicating they are working at all. I have data! So at our institution, for the 2019-2020 academic year (most recent relevant data for comparison due to covid changes/temporary layoffs), 23% of our incoming students indicated working at least 36 hours a week, and an additional 52% indicated working between 5 and 35 hours a week. For the upcoming semester, 47% indicated they were working at least 36 hours a week, with an additional 30% indicating they worked 5 to 35 hours a week.
