New study: Florida among top 10 states seeking side hustles [Video]

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A new study by WealthUp said Florida is among the top 10 states where the most people are seeking a side hustle, according to data analyzed from Google.

“I do massage therapy. I go into homes. I bring my table,” Danielle Waycott told WPTV in March 2023.

When WPTV spoke with Waycott last year, she was pursuing a second job to make ends meet.

“Soon, I’ll do EMT and then go into paramedics,” she said. “That will help lighten the load for health insurance.”

Now, one year later, because of the high cost of groceries and housing, a new study by WealthUp is revealing Florida is No. 7 on a list of top 10 states most interested in having a side hustle.

“This trend is steaming ahead. I don’t see anything that stops it,” Carl Gould, business analyst and founder of 7 Stage Advisors, said.
