Stagnating teacher salaries and the widening gap between public school teachers and similar workers have led to growing concerns that teachers will seek out additional employment--possibly impacting their instructional practice in the process. Using data from the Schools and Staffing Survey and the National Teacher and Principal Survey from…

Data suggest that those who work more than one job do so for many reasons other than economic necessity. Some careers are competitive and hard to break into or skills obtained at one job may lead to a second job. (JOW)

Examined data from survey of nonmetropolitan households (N=770 couples) to describe conjugal labor involvement of rural couples and to assess relationship between labor involvement and marital quality. Found that, when work situations of both spouses were considered, many couples either had no jobs or more than two jobs. (Author/NB)

According to a survey conducted in 1989, more than 7.2 million people held 2 or more jobs, an increase of 26 percent from 1985 and 52 percent from 1980. Women accounted for nearly two-thirds of the 1.5 million increase in multiple jobholders between 1985 and 1989. (Author)

The document reports findings from a multiple jobholder survey. About 3.9 million workers (4.7% of all employed persons) held two or more jobs in May 1975. The multiple jobholding rate for men (5.8%) was higher than the rate for women (2.9%). Over half of the moonlighters held two nonagricultural wage or salary jobs. The incidence of multiple…

The 1985 Current Population Survey found about 10 percent of nonmetro married couples (about 1.4 million) had at least 1 spouse who moonlighted (working more than 1 job). Moonlighting was associated with having children, higher income, farm affiliation, and enabling work schedules. Employment opportunities and economic needs differed by…

A work preference model of artists' labor supply was applied to data on Australian artists. Results show that artists subsidize their profession by working outside the arts; the higher their nonarts income, the more they subsidize arts work. Artists reduce hours worked in their principal artistic occupation when they receive a higher arts income.…

Findings are presented from a May 1969 survey on the growing number of "moonlighters" in the work force: (1) one in twenty workers held more than one job during the survey week; (2) three of every ten multiple jobholders were women, nearly double the proportion of 1969; (3) the number of men with multiple jobs remained about the same; (4) the…

Four-fifths of all moonlighters were men. The difference between the multiple job-holding rates of Negro and of white workers was not statistically…

Current Population Survey data indicate that 7.2% of nonmetropolitan workers and 6.2% of metropolitan workers held two or more jobs concurrently in 1996. Multiple jobholding rates were highest in the lowest and highest earnings quintiles and for whites, college graduates, and ages 45-54. Teachers accounted for the largest number of nonmetro…

About 3.9 million American workers (4.5 percent of all employed persons) held two or more jobs at the same time in May 1974. About 22 percent of all moonlighters had at least one agricultural job. The decrease in moonlighting was primarily due to the sharply lower…

Responses of 416 teachers to a survey about part-time work reveals particular patterns of demographics, reactions, and perceptions that distinguish teachers who moonlight from those who do not. These differences and their effects on the desire to continue teaching are discussed. (SLD)

In 1979 a stratified random sampling of 541 families in 4 rural Virginia counties were interviewed about major occupations, secondary occupations, travel to work, and whether the division of labor within the county allowed for a complete exchange system. Data, compared to 1940 census statistics, indicated that a significant change in occupational…
