The trend is real, historic, and growing.
The number of Americans holding two full-time jobs reached 476,000, marking the second-highest level on record.
The figure trails only December 2025’s all-time peak of 488,000.

The number of Americans working two full-time jobs has never been higher:
The number of multiple jobholders working primary and secondary full-time jobs is up to 476,000, the 2nd-highest on record.
This is only below the all-time high of 488,000, seen in December 2025.
