This Washington Post piece shows us that more Americans are juggling two, sometimes three jobs just to survive. Some key takeaways: - The share of U.S. workers with multiple jobs is the highest since 2019—a level we haven’t seen since the Great Recession. - Even teachers, healthcare workers, and full-time professionals are forced into second jobs to cover basic expenses. - The cost? Less sleep, declining mental and physical health, and time away from family. We often hear that a strong labor market means opportunity, but for low-income workers, it’s a different story. Many aren’t working extra jobs to “get ahead” but to stay afloat—as rising costs eat away at wages. At ThriveFunds, we see this reality every day. A parent without reliable childcare? That’s lost income. A car breakdown? That’s a missed shift. These aren’t just small setbacks—they trap families in financial precarity. This is why we invest directly in working families, providing critical resources like transportation, childcare, and job stability tools. Because no one should have to work 60-80 hours a week just to make ends meet. It’s time to shift the conversation from surviving to thriving. #EconomicMobility #WorkingFamilies #FinancialSecurity #InvestInFamilies #ThriveFunds https://lnkd.in/gX_399Nt
