|
|
51percent of respondents report a member of the household working more than 40 hours a week. Of the 51% that reported working more than 40 hours per week, almost 15% of the respondents reported that both the respondent and their spouse worked more than 40 hours per week.
Of the 51% who worked more than 40 hours per week, 90.6% of them worked more than 40 hours per week at a single job and 9.4% worked more than forty hours per week at 2 or more jobs. On average, those who worked more than one job worked 2 jobs.
Interestingly, 86% of those who reported working more than 40 hours per week reported doing so because it is expected due to the nature of the job. This is compared to 22% who reported working more than 40 hours per week in order to make more money. Half of those who reported working more than 40 hours per week in order to make more money do so because it is necessary to meet their family’s basic needs. This represents 3% of the respondents who report working more than 40 hours per week to meet their basic needs.
