The travel behavior inventory conducted in the Denver region (1997) obtained a count on the number of (paid and volunteer) jobs a person had. The data implied about 7.5% of the employed household population had 2 or more jobs. Some reported as many as 4 other jobs. While clerical employees were the largest group with second jobs, none reported more than 1 additional job. Those employed as "professionals" accounted for 46% of the employed with 2 or more other jobs (3+ totals jobs). -----Original Message----- From: David Abrams [mailto:dabrams@mrgcog.org] Sent: July 08, 2002 4:28 PM To: 'Chuck Purvis'; ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net Subject: RE: [CTPP] Changes in Workers per HH and Vehicles per HH (long po st) Albuquerque (not one of your 36 largest MSAs) also had a decline in workers per household from 1.235 to 1.188. We looked at the employment number compared to the employment data coming from the Department of Labor. We found that the number of workers (326,775) was somewhat less than the NMDOL estimate of Nonagricultural Employment (354,883). The NonAg number does not count agricultural or self-employment both of which are included in the number of workers (employed residents). In 1990, the number of workers reported by the Census exceeded the estimate of NonAg employment. We are thinking that there may be a major increase in persons working two jobs. If this is more widespread than Albuquerque it could have considerable consequences. To my knowledge there is not data collected on workers working multiple wage jobs. A question for Chuck Purvis: Did you control for the change in household size when you compared the workers to households ratios for 1990 and 2000. Dave Abrams Middle Rio Grande Council of Governments
