A new study shows many workers who have multiple jobs are still struggling amid the high cost of living.<\/p>\n
ADP Research, which surveyed 38,000 working adults globally across roughly three dozen markets between July 23 and Aug. 6, found 23% of respondents had two or more jobs.<\/p>\n
It found among workers with two jobs, roughly six in ten said they still lived paychque to paycheque.<\/p>\n
In Canada, the survey shows about half of those with two jobs say they do it to cover necessary expenses. Fifty-eight per cent of Canadians working three jobs say they are doing it to build their savings or retirement funds.<\/p>\n
While affordability was the top reason for multiple jobs, 16% of respondents said there were fewer full-time job opportunities — which pushed them to work multiple jobs.<\/p>\n
Overall, the survey found 56% of working Canadians were living paycheque to paycheque.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
