Nationally, approximately 8.8 million workers held more than one job, representing 5.4% of employed people, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics<\/a>.<\/p>\n How Florida compares<\/p>\n Kansas had the highest estimated multiple-jobholding rate at 9%, followed by Wyoming at 8.3%. Alaska and Maryland were tied at 8.1%.<\/p>\n California had the largest estimated number of multiple-job holders, approximately 841,000, despite a rate below the national average.<\/p>\n Florida\u2019s estimated total was similar to New York\u2019s 417,000, although New York\u2019s rate was higher at 4.4%.<\/p>\n What the figures show<\/p>\n The analysis measures how common multiple-job holding was among employed people ages 16 and older. It does not establish why people worked additional jobs.<\/p>\n \u201cThe figures alone don\u2019t tell us why people are taking on additional work,\u201d an Achieve spokesperson said in a statement. \u201cSomeone covering household bills may be in a very different position from someone building savings or pursuing another interest.\u201d<\/p>\n Achieve calculated each state\u2019s rate using average monthly estimates of multiple-job holders and employed people.<\/p>\n The 2025 estimates cover 11 months because October survey data were not collected during the federal government shutdown. They are not strictly comparable with annual averages from other years.<\/p>\n Click here<\/a> to download our free news, weather and smart TV apps.
