The majority of workers in Japan, or 91.5%, support the idea of doing a side job in addition to their main work, reports Nippon, citing survey data from staffing firm Staff Service Holdings. The survey asked workers their opinion on whether they would like to be able to do a side job in addition to their main work. Of those in their twenties, 78.6% expressed unqualified agreement, showing that the younger people are, the more they want to increase earnings by extending out from their main job into other work. When asked if it was possible for them to have side work alongside their main job, those who answered either that it was “possible” or “somewhat possible” amounted to 57.8%. The most common reason given for it not being possible was the difficulty in securing time to do side work (39.9% of respondents). This was followed by concerns that it would either interfere with (35.8%) or stop them being able to concentrate (24.3%) on their main job
