Lale also found that while single women are more likely to work multiple jobs than mar- ried women, the opposite is true for men: married men are more likely to work multiple jobs than single men. "Women are disproportion- ately represented in the part- time labor force," said Claire McKenna, a policy analyst for the National Employment Law Project in New York City. The part-time issue hits women harder than men because two-thirds of the work- ers who are working multiple part-time jobs without full-time employment are women. In addition, a study by the employment research group found a higher per- centage of women are in the involuntary part-time work force. That means they work part-time either because they can't find a full-time job or because their job, which should have full-time hours, does- n't have enough work to support that. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' study noted that most people working mul- tiple jobs are doing it to meet expenses or to get out of debt. Having more than one job becomes a job in itself as people have to keep track of their complex schedules. Amber Ricci, 19, has two part-time coaching jobs and a third job as a receptionist. She also is finishing cosmetology school. For a while, she tried to keep her schedule on her smart- phone, but it was too cumber- some to add and delete on the electronic calendar. Now she has two paper calendars so she can just cross out work when her hours change and write the new information down. "You have to prioritize one (job) and then schedule the others around it," she said. Owens was recently confused about his schedule and wound up arriving to work at 7 p.m. when he should have been in at 5 p.m. Between his two restaurant jobs, he usually puts in 40 hours of work a week. Selling knives comes during what he calls his own time, time spent working for yet another company. Having multiple jobs, McKen- na noted, also uses up time and expenses. For instance having two jobs increases the cost and time spent commuting. Another stress is having to navigate two or more work cultures and sets of workplace rules. For lower wage workers who do not have some of the flexi- bility of white collar jobs, child- care and family issues can add to the stress. In 1994, when the Bureau of Labor Statistics started to keep track of part-time employment, 22 percent of the people work- ing part-time had multiple part- time jobs without a single full- time gig. Now that percentage is up to 27 percent as workers at all education levels are strug- gling to get full-time work. Elise Gould, a labor econo- mist for the Economic Policy Institute, a Washington, D.C.- based research organization, said the phenomena of work- ers cobbling together jobs to get to a 40-hour work week is a sign of the weakness of the economy. "We're in a place where the employers hold all the cards. A place where workers can't get full-time jobs if they want them," she said. Even the job numbers for March were weak, Gould said, with just 126,000 jobs added to the national economy. In an environment where there are still nearly twice as many job seekers as there are jobs, busi- nesses have little incentive to accommodate workers with better hours or schedules. "That's why people are trying to piece together work still." Shorehaven 1305 W.
