Polyworkers

Nonemployer ("gig") work is increasing, and the trend of younger generations of gig workers pursuing multiple functions or clients has given rise to the term "polyworkers." The concept of polyworking, which involves holding two or more jobs, emerged as individuals capitalized on the opportunity to undertake multiple full-time roles while working remotely. The absence of a time-consuming commute has made transitioning from one job to another as simple as logging onto a computer for a second shift. This convenience is a key factor in the trend revealed bynew research, which shows that a third of workers are now managing three or more jobs.
