NOTE: Class of worker, industry, and occupation data about second jobs are not available for a small share of multiple jobholders; these estimates may not sum to total. This also means that contingent status on the second job is not available for a small share of multiple jobholders, and the number of contingent and not contingent second jobs will not sum to total. Full time is 35 hours or more per week, and part time is less than 35 hours. Hours vary is for people whose usual hours vary above and below the threshold for full-time work on all jobs other than their main job. Dash indicates no data or data that do not meet publication criteria (values not shown where base is less than 75,000).
