Are you working more than one job? 9News
today released figures that showed the proportion of employed people working more than one job has increased to 6.5 per cent.
Critically, today's labour figures are for the June quarter – meaning April, May and June 2021 – and as such do not reflect the current environment of extended COVID-19 lockdowns. "The multiple job holding rate of 6.5 per cent in the June quarter was the highest seen across the 27 year series, and continued the rebound from the record low of 4.9 per cent in the June quarter of 2020," Mr Jarvis said.
"Secondary jobs increased by 33 per cent over the 2020-21 financial year, from a low in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic in the June quarter of 2020. By June quarter 2021 they were 9 per cent above pre-pandemic levels."Another record broken was the amount of jobs that were open and advertised but not filled – known as vacant jobs.
