Chances are you have a retirement savings gap — most Americans have saved less than $25,000.
Maybe you want to add a part-time gig to your day job to bring in extra income to help you close that gap — or to pay down debt.
Perhaps you need a part-time job to complement another part-time job to make ends meet, as more than 1 million Americans currently do, Bloomberg Business recently reported:
The share of the employed population working multiple part-time jobs for full-time hours has been rising for 11 of the past 12 years, reaching 0.78 percent in 2014, a record in two decades of data.
Fortunately, well-paying part-time work does exist. For example, CBS News has compiled the following list, calling these jobs “some of the most lucrative part-time jobs that also offer flexible hours.”
The website notes that earnings vary significantly based on experience, geographic location, demand and other factors.
