Multiple job holders working more hours on average than single job holders
Across all employed people, the average usual hours worked per week was 37.9. For a multiple job holder, the average increased to 43.3 hours per week, while for a single job holder the average remained similar to the average across all employed at 37.4 hours per week.
Male multiple job holders worked an average of 50.4 usual hours a week, and men who held only one job worked an average of 41.0 hours per week. Women who held multiple jobs worked 37.4 hours per week on average, while women who held only one job worked an average of 33.4 hours per week.
"It is more common to see men taking on part-time work in addition to a full-time job than women, who have a higher rate of working part time in both their main and second jobs," Mr Ussher said.
"This may be contributing to why we are seeing men who hold multiple jobs working significantly more usual hours on average than women who hold multiple jobs."
