The country now has 287,500 people who have two or more jobs, the highest number since at least 2011, according to data consulted by ECO.

Of the approximately 4.9 million people who were already employed at the start of the year and continued to do so in the second quarter, 3.8% had two or more jobs and remained in this situation. This involves 185,300 people.

In the previous quarter, there were 167,000 people who had at least two jobs. In other words, there has now been a chain reaction of 11.2% in this group. In year-on-year terms, there has been an increase of 10.2%.

Between April and June, these workers were joined by 102.2 thousand other people, who had started 2024 with only one job, but in the second quarter were forced to accumulate at least one more job.

In the first three months of the year, 94.4 thousand people had made this transition. This means that, in the second quarter, there was a chain reaction of 8.2% of new workers in dual employment. If we look at the figures recorded in the same period last year, the increase was 3.1%.

The result: in total, in the second quarter, 287.5 thousand people maintained or switched to dual employment, according to ECO. This is the highest figure since at least the second quarter of 2011.
