One Third of Americans Have a Side Hustle, Collectively Earning $83.1B Extra per Month, Omnisend Survey Shows

A new Omnisend survey of more than 1,200 Americans shows that side hustles are quickly becoming a defining feature of modern work culture. As many as 31% in the U.S. currently run one, with the vast majority (60%) motivated by financial need. Of those, 44% have turned to online sales, with 58% of them earning on peer-to-peer resale platforms like Facebook Marketplace. And while more than half (51%) only launched their side hustle less than a year ago, collectively they’re already generating billions of dollars extra each month.
