ORLANDO, Fla. — Florida had the second-lowest estimated share of workers holding multiple jobs in 2025, but approximately 419,000 people statewide still worked more than one job, according to a new analysis.
Personal finance company Achieve analyzed Current Population Survey data and estimated that 3.9% of employed Floridians held multiple jobs. Only Alabama had a lower rate, at 3.5%.
Nationally, approximately 8.8 million workers held more than one job, representing 5.4% of employed people, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
How Florida compares
Kansas had the highest estimated multiple-jobholding rate at 9%, followed by Wyoming at 8.3%. Alaska and Maryland were tied at 8.1%.
California had the largest estimated number of multiple-job holders, approximately 841,000, despite a rate below the national average.
Florida’s estimated total was similar to New York’s 417,000, although New York’s rate was higher at 4.4%.
What the figures show
The analysis measures how common multiple-job holding was among employed people ages 16 and older. It does not establish why people worked additional jobs.
“The figures alone don’t tell us why people are taking on additional work,” an Achieve spokesperson said in a statement. “Someone covering household bills may be in a very different position from someone building savings or pursuing another interest.”
Achieve calculated each state’s rate using average monthly estimates of multiple-job holders and employed people.
The 2025 estimates cover 11 months because October survey data were not collected during the federal government shutdown. They are not strictly comparable with annual averages from other years.
