ABC News (Australia) published this video item, entitled “Record number of Australians holding down more than one job to make ends meet | 7.30” – below is their description.
There are now more job vacancies than unemployed Australians. That record demand should mean we see workers’ wages finally rise – except the opposite is happening. Wages growth remains stubbornly low and as the cost of living continues to creep up, so too does the number of people working multiple jobs. This month, ABS figures revealed an all-time high of 900,000 people now holding down at least two jobs to make ends meet. Elias Clure reports.
