Gig Economy About the Future of the Workplace

many people having multiple jobs is a good thing: “It’s symptomatic of a tight labor market and the fact that you have so many job openings. It means that people who want to work are able to find jobs.” But, is that the truth?

Working multiple jobs taps into this naturally occurring incentive system. But it also comes with a few detriments:

Less free time for friendships or personal errands like doctor appointments
Less flexibility or spontaneity
Higher varieties of stress types and higher stress levels
Greater risk of performance peril
Potential conflicts of interest
Less work environment structure
Potential cost of materials
Health detriments due to stress, job-related injury, etc.
Lower energy levels for self-care and everyday tasks like cleaning
Economically speaking, this means that quality of life should be higher, but might not necessarily be if someone is working multiple jobs.
