What Sidehustling Is Not!
It’s not a pseudo business! It’s not something you do when you can’t find a real job, even though some do it for that reason! Here are the facts: Approximately 27% to 38% of American adults have a side hustle, depending on the recent survey, with recent trends showing a decline to 27% in mid-2025 according to a Bankrate survey. Other recent reports from early 2025 indicate higher percentages, with LendingTree reporting 38% and BenefitsPRO noting nearly 40% of Americans relying on side hustles. Younger generations, particularly Gen Z, are more likely to engage in side hustles, but the specific prevalence varies by study.
