For many Gen Z workers, the old idea of one full-time job for life feels outdated. In Bankrate’s July 2025 survey, 34% of U.S. Gen Z adults said they had a side hustle, a higher share than Gen X and baby boomers. U.S. labor data also showed that about 786,000 people aged 20 to 24 held multiple jobs in 2025. (bankrate.com)

Money is the clearest reason. Bank of America’s 2025 Better Money Habits study found that 51% of Gen Z said the high cost of living was a barrier to financial success, 53% said they did not earn enough to live the life they wanted, and 55% did not have enough emergency savings to cover three months of expenses. Bankrate also found that 35% of side hustlers used extra income for regular living costs, and nearly 3 in 10 believed they would always need a side hustle to make ends meet.

But money is not the whole story. Deloitte’s 2025 global Gen Z and Millennial Survey says young workers want flexibility, mental well-being, and meaningful work. Only 6% said their main career goal was reaching a leadership position, while 70% of Gen Z said they were building career skills at least once a week and 67% were doing it outside working hours. This suggests that side jobs can also be a training ground: a place to learn communication, networking, and practical business skills. (www2.deloitte.com)

Technology has made this lifestyle easier. Bankrate’s 2025 survey found that common side-hustle fields included online sales and professional or business services such as freelance writing, graphic design, and consulting. Fiverr’s 2025 “Next Gen of Work” survey added that 67% of Gen Z saw multiple income streams as essential for financial security, and 38% were already freelancing or planning to do so. For Gen Z, then, having several jobs is not simply a trend. It is a smart response to expensive daily life, a changing world of work, and a strong wish for freedom and self-direction. (bankrate.com)
