"The rise of remote work has altered the traditional work landscape, and flexible hours now rival salary and job security as the most highly valued aspects of work for many employees. A recent LendingTree survey of 2,000 Americans found that 51% of remote workers make extra money while working their principal job, and 58% have contemplated doing so. A whopping 90% say remote employment has improved their work-life balance."
"According to Statista, about 28 million individuals worked part time in the United States in 2024. This represents a 13.7% increase from 2020 and a huge increase from 1990, when there were just over 20 million part-time employees in the U.S. There are lots of factors to consider when choosing between a part-time job and a side gig. Here's a rundown of some pros and cons of both."
Remote work expanded rapidly since the COVID-19 pandemic, changing work structures and increasing demand for flexible hours. Many remote employees pursue extra income while holding primary jobs; 51% already earn additional money and 58% have considered it. Ninety percent report improved work-life balance from remote employment. Part-time work rose to about 28 million U.S. workers in 2024, up 13.7% since 2020, and employers increasingly convert full-time roles to part-time positions. Workers prioritize balance and reduced hours. Choosing between part-time employment and side gigs requires weighing stability, benefits, flexibility, income potential, and long-term career impact.
