New ABS figures reveal almost a million Australians are now working more than one job [Video]

A record number of Australians are working second jobs to ease cost of living pressures, but experts have warned of superannuation traps could be draining this extra income. 

Zach Simmons is one of almost a million people across the country working for more than one employer.

The 23-year-old’s main form of income comes as a barista and waiter at a Melbourne cafe, while his supplementary income comes from bartending shifts on a Saturday and modelling as a hobby.

“I love working here, it’s a small business,” Simmons told 9News Melbourne.

“The bar is a change of pace and modelling is a bit of a passion.

“A lot of people work a lot more than they’d like to, I’m just lucky I’ve got three I look forward to.”
