“…While economists consider financial motivation in relation to constraints, scholars in other disciplines discuss it in terms of economic need (e.g., Throsby & Zednik, 2011). For example, MJH can be used as a way to manage inconsistent earnings in one’s primary job (“precautionary savings hypothesis”; Guariglia & Kim, 2004) or as a risk aversion technique to protect from perceived job insecurity (Hlouskova, Tsigaris, Caplanova, & Sivak, 2017). Studies show that artists tend to diversify the risk associated with uneven employment in their art (e.g., theater, photography, dance) by also working in more stable occupations (e.g., retail, hospitality) (Menger, 2017).…”

Despite sizable but varying estimates of multiple jobholding (MJH) and decades of research across disciplines (e.g., management, economics, sociology, health and medicine), our understanding of MJH is rather limited. The purpose of this review is to provide a coherent synthesis of the literature on MJH, or working more than one job. Beginning with a discussion of the motivations and demographic predictors that forecast MJH, we note a distinct divide between the research that predicts MJH and the research that examines outcomes, with few studies exploring how motivations might relate to MJH experiences and outcomes. Another significant observation in this review is the inconsistency of findings across and within disciplines regarding whether MJH is depleting or enriching. Using this framework to organize our review, we attempt to reconcile the generally mixed results by presenting research on mechanisms and boundary conditions of MJH to explain how and when multiple jobholders (MJHers) are depleted or enriched. By integrating findings from the literature, we are able to articulate more clearly the paths of depletion and enrichment and discuss how push versus pull-based motivations to hold multiple jobs likely predict these pathways. Finally, we provide a strategic agenda highlighting areas where additional research is urgently needed to equip scholars with practical knowledge on how to help MJHers manage their multiple work roles and how to help organizations manage MJHers.

“…Second, our paper contributes to understanding the motives that prompt workers to take on and give up second jobs, and more generally the paths of adjustment in working hours. Related references include Shishko and Rostker (1976), Krishnan (1990), Paxson and Sicherman (1996), Conway and Kimmel (1998), Conway and Kimmel (2001) and Hlouskova et al (2017). Much of this literature deals with the roles of “economic reasons” vs. “job heterogeneity” in explaining the decision to hold more than one job.…”

In Canada, the fraction of workers holding multiple jobs has almost tripled since the mid-1970s. In this paper, we document this historical change and provide a comprehensive account of its dynamics. We use restricted-access panel micro-data from the Canadian labour force survey to construct transition probabilities in and out of multiple jobholding. We analyze these data through the lens of a trend decomposition that separates out the role of worker inflows and outflows. The upward trend in multiple jobholding is explained chiefly by the increased likelihood of single jobholders to pick up second jobs. While economic reasons remain important, a more flexible hours schedule of the main job adds to the factors that push workers towards multiple jobholding.Résumé. Sur l'évolution du cumul d'emploi au Canada. Au Canada, la fraction de travailleurs qui occupent simultanément plusieurs emplois a presque triplé depuis le milieu des années 1970. Cet article fait état de ce changement historique et présente une description complète de ses dynamiques. Nous utilisons les microdonnées du panel à accès limité de l'Enquête sur la population active du Canada afin d'établir des probabilités de transition vers l'acceptation et l'arrêt d'un deuxième emploi. Nous analysons ces probabilités à travers le prisme d'une décomposition de la tendance qui sépare le rôle des entrées dans le cumul d'emploi et des sorties hors de celui-ci. La tendance ascendante en matière d'emplois simultanés s'explique surtout par la probabilité accrue que des travailleurs qui occupent un seul emploi en acceptent un deuxième. Bien que les raisons économiques demeurent importantes parmi les motifs qui poussent les travailleurs à occuper simultanément plusieurs postes, l'horaire de travail plus flexible du premier emploi explique pourquoi l'entrée dans un deuxième emploi est devenu plus fréquente.

The number of workers who hold more than one job (a.k.a. multiple jobholders) has increased recently in Canada. While this seems to echo the view that non-standard work arrangements are becoming pervasive, the increase has in fact been trivial compared with the long-run rise of multiple jobholding that has occurred since the mid-1970s. In this paper, we document this historical evolution and provide a comprehensive account of its underlying dynamics. To this end, we use restricted-access panel micro-data from the Canadian Labour Force Survey to construct transition probabilities into and out of multiple jobholding. We analyze these data through the lens of a trend decomposition that separates out the role of labor market inflows and outflows. The picture that emerges from our analysis is one of continued increases in the propensity of workers to take on second jobs. We argue that changes in technology and in preferences could both be responsible for this evolution.
