Abstract: In May 2001, 7.8 million people in the United States (5.7% of U.S. workers) worked multiple jobs. The May 2001 Current Population Survey asked multiple jobholders their main reason for holding more than one job. These percentages of respondents gave the following reasons: to meet expenses or pay off debt, 27.8%; to earn extra money, 35.4%; to build a business or get experience in a different job, 4.6%; enjoy the second job, 17.4%; other reasons, 12.5%; and reason not available, 2.3%. Young workers (aged 16-24 years) were more likely to work multiple jobs to earn extra money than were workers aged 25 or older. The share of adults who moonlighted in order to build a business or get experience in a second job decreased with age, and the share of workers who moonlighted because they enjoyed the second job tended to decrease with age. The number of white individuals who reported working multiple jobs because they enjoyed the second job was nearly double the number of blacks and was 7 percentage points higher than the number of Hispanics citing the same reason. One-third of blacks and more one-fourth of whites moonlighted to meet expenses or pay off debt. Fewer workers were moonlighting in May 2001 than in May 1997.

Abstract: This is the second of two volumes of selected papers presented at the 1996 conference "Changes in Working Hours in Canada and the United States." Eleven chapters explore an expanded set of working-time issues, which may be loosely grouped under these two topics: working time over the life cycle and nonstandard work arrangements. "Introduction and Overview" (Susan Houseman, Alice Nakamura) is followed by these two chapters in Part I that examine general patterns and trends in working time over the life cycle for the United States (U.S.) and Canada and introduce a number of the basic terms and concepts used in the rest of the volume: "The Life Cycle of Working Time in the U.S. and Canada: Long-Term Evidence" (John D. Owen) and "Perspectives on Working Time over the Life Cycle" (Michael Wolfson, Geoff Rowe). Part II contains these five chapters that examine individuals' work decisions at key points in the life cycle: "Adults Returning to School--Payoffs from Studying at a Community College" (Duane E. Leigh, Andrew M. Gill); "Children's Effects on Women's Labor Market Attachment and Earnings" (William E. Even, David A. Macpherson); "U.S. Health Policy and Mothers of Children with Disabilities" (Janet Hunt-McCool); "Early Retirees of a Telecommunications Firm--Patterns of Employment and Working Time" (Gangaram Singh, Anil Verma); "Working Time over the Life Cycle: Do Public Pensions Matter?" (Michael Baker, Dwayne Benjamin). Part III focuses on various forms of nonstandard employment. The first three chapters have to do with worker behavior and employment patterns. The fourth examines employer hiring practices. They are "Self-Employment and Schedule Flexibility for Married Females: Evidence for the U.S. from SIPP (Survey of Income and Program Participation)" (Theresa J. Devine); "Work Site and Work Hours: The Labor Force Flexibility of Home-Based Female Workers" (Linda N. Edwards, Elizabeth Field-Hendrey); "A Comparative Analysis of Moonlighting in Canada and the U.S." (Jean Kimmel, Lisa M. Powell); and "Large Companies and the Changing Use of Temporary Workers: Trends and Impacts on Financial Measures of Performance" (Shulamit Kahn et al.).

Numerical/Quantitative Data; Reports - Research
Descriptors: Elementary Secondary Education; Multiple Employment; Part Time Employment; Teacher Attitudes; Teacher Characteristics; Teacher Salaries; Teachers
Abstract: This is the eleventh in a series of biannual surveys of Texas public school teachers. The study began in 1980 to form a database of demographic information on Texas teacher characteristics. A sample of teachers was selected using a computerized systematic sample from the 80,000 members of the Texas State Teachers Association. The survey was conducted in February 2000. Questionnaires were mailed to 710 teachers, with a return rate of 43 percent. The average Texas teacher was a 40-year-old female making a $35,178 salary, was married with a working spouse, had a bachelor's degree, was the breadwinner, taught elementary school in an urban district, and had 10 years of experience with 43 percent of her fellow teachers seriously considering leaving the profession. About 42 percent of the teachers worked in the summer making $2,527, and 28 percent moonlighted during the regular school year making $4,720 while working 11.6 hours per week. About 88 percent of the teachers paid health insurance in the amount of $120 monthly. Nearly 80 percent of the teachers believed that moonlighting was detrimental and wanted to quit.

Abstract: This book reports on the effects of economic restructuring on the livelihood of working families in a rural Vermont county. Specifically, a study investigated family strategies to ensure and enhance daily survival including gainful employment (informal and formal), moonlighting, self-provisioning efforts, and non-monetary exchanges with other households. The study is based on in-depth interviews with 117 individuals in 81 households and a random telephone survey of 158 households. Chapter 1 describes local economic restructuring that resulted in the replacement of good jobs with less desirable jobs that failed to offer decent wages, permanent work, or secure benefits. County demographic data illustrate specific changes in the labor force and employment opportunities. Chapter 2 compares the survival strategies of two different sets of county households: those in which at least one member managed to find and hold onto "good work" and those in which household members were all involved in "bad work." Although education was clearly significant in the acquisition of some good jobs, it did not ensure that workers would hold onto good jobs. Chapters 3-4 focus on income-producing activities (the dual-earner strategy, moonlighting) of the two households, as well as non-income activities that helped meet household needs (self-provisioning, nonmonetary household exchanges). Chapters 5-6 explore how different survival strategies gave rise to gender differences and the implications of gender for the division of domestic labor. Chapter 7 considers individual attitudes toward the family's survival strategies and how individuals made sense of and responded to the changing labor force, their jobs, and their social world. This study concluded that wages alone could not meet the needs of most families involved in the study, and households with better jobs had greater access to a combination of economic activities. Appendix contains information on study methodology. Contains chapter notes, a bibliography, and an index.

9. Texas Teachers, Moonlighting, and Morale: 1980-1998. (ED418950)
1998-04-00
Reports - Research
Descriptors: Elementary Secondary Education; Job Satisfaction; Multiple Employment; Part Time Employment; Public School Teachers; Public Schools; Teacher Attitudes; Teacher Characteristics; Teacher Morale
Abstract: This paper is the 10th in a series of biannual surveys of Texas public school teachers that began in 1980 to examine teacher characteristics (including their feelings about moonlighting). Participating teachers were selected using a computerized systematic sample from a population of 100,000 members of the Texas State Teachers Association. For the 1998 survey, researchers mailed questionnaires to 699 teachers, and 312 teachers responded with usable surveys. Results indicate that the average Texas teacher is a 45-year-old female, is making a salary of $34,572, is married with a working spouse, has a bachelor's degree, is not the family breadwinner, teaches elementary school in a suburban district, and has 16.2 years of experience. About 40 percent of the teachers are seriously considering leaving the profession. Around 35 percent work in the summer making $2,526, and 34 percent moonlight during the regular school year making $3,440 while working 11.5 hours per week. Nearly 90 percent of the teachers pay health insurance in the amount of $144 per month. Over 60 percent of the teachers believe that moonlighting is detrimental and would like to quit while believing that the quality of teaching is better than it was 5 years ago.

10. Who Moonlights and Why? Evidence from the SIPP. Staff Working Paper 95-40. (ED401429)
Kimmel, Jean; Conway, Karen Smith
1995-07-00
Descriptors: Adult Education; Career Education; Employee Attitudes; Individual Characteristics; Males; Models; Motivation; Multiple Employment; Part Time Employment; Wages
Abstract: A study examined the characteristics of moonlighters and the length of their moonlighting episodes to determine who moonlights and why. Data for 203 prime-aged men were drawn from the 1984 Survey of Income and Program Participation panel (SIPP). The methodology involved a study of the personal and job-related characteristics of moonlighters and how the length of the moonlighting episode varied with these characteristics and an estimation of a duration model with unobserved heterogeneity to identify formally the determinants of moonlighting behavior when multiple motives may exist. The expectation was that individuals who moonlighted because they were constrained on their primary jobs might do so for shorter periods than those who moonlighted for other reasons. Therefore, the hazard rate for workers who moonlight because of primary job constraints should be greater than for those with alternative motives. The descriptive analysis revealed that most moonlighters worked full time on their primary jobs and 15-20 hours per week on lower-paying second jobs, and, in spite of those long hours, tended to be poorer than the average workers. Yet, a significant minority earned a higher wage on their second job. The duration model results suggested the structural hazard increased over time and there was significant unobserved heterogeneity. These results were consistent with the presence of multiple motives for moonlighting, with the constraint motive being the most common. (Contains 19 references and a technical appendix.)
