More Australians are working two jobs than ever before, according to new analysis based on jobs data reported by multiple outlets. Both sources say the rate has reached an all-time high.
The articles focus on the same overall trend but provide limited additional detail in the excerpts provided. PerthNow and The West Australian describe the change as a shift in how Australians are employed, suggesting an increase in people combining roles rather than working a single job. Each outlet frames the finding as evidence of growing prevalence of second jobs in the workforce.
While the core point is consistent across reports, the available text does not specify the exact percentage, the time period compared, or the main drivers behind the increase. The reports therefore align on the headline result—an all-time high rate of people working two jobs—without presenting differing explanations in the information provided.
