As wages lag behind high inflation, many US workers have been forced to seek second jobs
In the United States, high inflation and increasing costs of living have forced many workers to take on second jobs in order to afford their living expenses. According to recent poll data, these economic pressures are affecting working parents more acutely than employees without children. This is because the cost of raising children has also risen, and this has caused many parents to seek a second job to offset the financial strain.
