(1) Hours data for second job refer to hours at all jobs other than the main job. (2) For temporary help agency workers and workers provided by contract firms, the industry classification is that of the place to which they were assigned. If workers did not provide this information, industry estimates will not sum to total. (3) Wage and salary workers exclude all of the self-employed. The self-employed includes both the incorporated and unincorporated self-employed.
NOTE: Class of worker, industry, and occupation data about second jobs are not available for a small share of multiple jobholders. In addition, whether a worker is in an alternative arrangement on the second job is not available for a small share of multiple jobholders. There are a small number of workers who were both "on call" and "provided by contract firms." For these reasons, estimates may not sum to total. Workers with traditional arrangements are those who do not fall into any of the "alternative arrangements" categories. 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).
