“…While the ATUS and CPS ask similar survey questions about working more than one job, a higher incidence of multiple jobholding in the ATUS relative to the CPS is an established finding (Allard and Polivka 2018; Bailey and Spletzer 2021). One explanation for the higher multiple jobholding rates in the ATUS might be due to the probing questions about an individual's diary day.…”

“…The vast majority of employed Americans hold a single job that provides their earnings; however, research from a variety of surveys finds that many Americans hold multiple jobs. Frazis and Stewart (2009) use data from the American Time Use Survey (ATUS) to show that 10 percent to 11 percent of workers held multiple jobs, and Bailey and Spletzer (2021) use data from the Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LHED) and find that 7.8 percent of workers held multiple jobs in 2018. Finally, Beckhusen (2019) uses data from the Survey on Income and Program Participation (SIPP) and finds that 8.3 percent of workers in 2013 worked multiple jobs.…”

“…Bailey and Spletzer (2021) estimate that multiple jobholding has increased from 6.8 percent of workers in 1996 to 7.8 percent of workers in 2018, but while the number of multiple jobholders (MJHs) is increasing, we still know very little about the circumstances surrounding these types of workers. Campion, Caza, and Moss (2020) describe how holding multiple jobs can be enriching or depleting to a person's life, including how it can affect the work-life balance.…”

Time Use and Subjective Well-Being of Multiple Jobholders: Evidence From the American Time Use Survey

Millions of workers hold more than one job. Multiple jobholders work various combinations of part-time and full-time jobs, which suggests they might spend their time differently than single jobholders, and the second job might affect an individual's subjective well-being. Using data from the 2003-2019 American Time Use Survey, I show that multiple jobholders work and commute more, and spend less time relaxing, sleeping, and doing housework than single jobholders. Overall, multiple jobholders are less likely to report being rested and having a good life relative to single jobholders. I also show how these differences vary by gender and race.

“…The number of Americans who hold multiple jobs has increased in recent years [ 1 , 2 ]. While definitions, measurement, and names for multiple jobholding vary over time and discipline [ 1 , 3 , 4 ], multiple jobholding can broadly be understood as having two or more jobs at once. The U.S. Census Bureau finds that 7.8% of working Americans were multiple jobholders in 2018 [ 1 , 2 ].…”

The number of Americans with multiple jobs is increasing and multiple jobholders work more hours per week. However, the associations between multiple jobholding and hypertension are unknown. The aim of this study was to examine the associations of multiple jobholding with hypertension and determine whether weekly working hours moderated this association. Data from the 2015 National Health Interview Survey on adults (age ≥18 years) were used and included participants who self-identified as non-Hispanic Asian, non-Hispanic Black, Hispanic, or non-Hispanic White in the U.S. (n = 16,926), The associations of multiple jobholding with self-reported hypertension by sex were assessed using modified Poisson regressions. Both the number of working hours per week and race/ethnicity were assessed as moderators using multiplicative interaction terms. Multiple jobholding was not associated with hypertension among women. However, there was a significant three-way interaction such that multiple jobholding was associated with hypertension among non-Hispanic Black men who worked ≥55 hours per week (relative risk = 1.02, 95% confidence interval = 1.01–1.05). The results suggest that the associations between multiple jobholding, number of working hours, and hypertension should be examined at the intersection of race/ethnicity and sex. Future studies should further characterize multiple jobholding and hypertension among non-Hispanic Black men.

“…Staffing mechanisms at healthcare facilities further add to this confusion for emergency code systems. Approximately one in five healthcare workers has at least two jobs, and each employer may have its own emergency code designations [ 13 , 26 , 27 ].…”

Breaking the Code: Considerations for Effectively Disseminating Mass Notifications in Healthcare Settings

Many healthcare facilities use code-based alert systems to notify staff of ongoing emergencies via public announcement systems. This study sought to assess the ability of clinical and non-clinical employees across the State of Georgia to correctly identify their facility’s emergency codes, assess employee’s opinions of emergency alert systems, and identify significant predictors of emergency code identification accuracy. Anonymous electronic surveys asked 304 employees at five facilities to identify the codes for 14 different emergencies. Participants correctly identified the emergency codes with 44.37% accuracy on average. The codes for fire, infant abduction, and cardiac arrest were most commonly identified correctly. Code identification accuracy was significantly associated with training at orientation, knowledge of emergency code activation procedures, facility experience, and the total number of facilities in an employee’s career. Most survey participants favored a code-based alert system over a plain language-based alert system, citing concerns of causing panic in patients and visitors, and of maintaining confidentiality and discretion. The low code identification accuracy suggests healthcare employees may have limited awareness of ongoing emergencies. Transitioning to plain language overhead emergency alerts will better position employees, as well as patients and visitors, to effectively respond to emergencies and disasters occurring within a healthcare facility.
