Second Jobs and Side Hustles in the Nonprofit Space
About this episode
This episode discusses the increasing trend of nonprofit workers taking on second jobs and side hustles, and the implications for organizations.
Episode 68: Nonprofit Wage Penalty, Side Hustles & Second Jobs Have you ever had a second job while working at a nonprofit? You and me both. In 2017, 19% of Americans had two or more jobs during the year. That number has more than doubled in the eight years since. And a growing number of workers are taking on side hustles to bring in extra cash or separate themselves in an ever-competitive market. In my latest episode of The Nonprofit Insider Podcast, I break down the phenomenon of nonprofit workers having second jobs & side hustles, and why organizations should reconsider their stance on a little-known secret within our sector.
