The rise of the Gen Z side hustle
bbc.com> “The stacking of jobs has always existed, but it’s usually been done by workers who’ve needed to as a means of economic survival,” explains Meredith Meyer Grelli, assistant teaching professor of entrepreneurship at Carnegie Mellon University's Tepper School of Business, based in Pittsburgh, US.
I see very little evidence in this article to suggest that something different is happening. Gen Z (is it actually only Gen Z?) is stacking multiple jobs because job security and wages are at historically low levels for most of the population.
I see so many ads speaking of "side hustles" that are all devoted to selling off the things you own, which makes me think that a side hustle is primarily a way to get through bad times.
