Side Hustles Surge: Americans Brace for Economic Uncertainty

Many Americans are taking on extra jobs, like having a 'side hustle', because they're worried about the economy.

This is similar to what happened during past recessions.

Younger people, who have lived through economic difficulties, are especially likely to have these extra jobs.

People are choosing side jobs that are reliable, like cleaning or childcare, rather than following their hobbies.

They're doing this to make extra money and to feel secure in case their main job has problems.

Even colleges are preparing students for a future where having more than one job might be common.
