""Gen Z's approach to work is also a reaction to what they saw growing up-long hours, loyalty to a single employer, and then the shock of the 2008 financial crisis. That's shaped a mindset focused on hedging risk rather than relying on one job for stability.""
""While many workers are turning to poly-employment to supplement their income among economic uncertainty and rising cost-of-living pressures, the data reveals a growing divide between those forced into it and those choosing independence.""
Gen Z is leading a shift towards poly-employment, with over half of those engaged in multiple jobs being from this generation. Economic uncertainty and rising living costs drive many to seek additional income. However, a divide exists between those forced into poly-employment and those choosing it for flexibility. This trend marks a cultural shift away from traditional full-time roles, influenced by witnessing their parents' experiences and the 2008 financial crisis, leading to a focus on risk management in employment.
