About 5% Of Americans Work More Than One Job

From E21, "Bernie’s Wrong: Americans Now Less Likely to Work 2 or 3 Jobs" by Allison Schrager:
The front-runner for the Democratic Presidential nomination, Bernie Sanders argues one reason the economy is “broken” is that "Millions of Americans are forced to work two or three jobs just to survive."

But the number of Americans working more than one job has actually been declining over the years and is only about 5%. Most multiple job holders have a full-time job and a part-time job. Only 5% of multiple job holders have two full-time jobs. Women are slightly more likely to be multiple job holders.
