最新报道:Fewer Americans are engaging in side hustles for the first time since 2017, according to a Bankrate survey. The report shows a decline to 39% of U.S. adults with side jobs, down from 43% in 2023, as inflation eases and wage growth stabilizes. Younger generations remain most active, with 53% of Gen Z and 50% of millennials still pursuing extra income. Financial pressures, including rising living costs and debt, continue driving side work, though motivations vary by age—Gen Z prioritizes discretionary spending, while older workers focus on essentials. The trend reflects shifting economic conditions and labor market dynamics.
