POLYWORK // 🛃Do you have more than one job right now? By choice, necessity or circumstance? Polywork assumes you choose to do more than one job, but there are a lot of people taking on polywork to make ends meet as a result of the increase in the cost of living or because a flexible or part time role is not available to them.
Tony Moclair and I discussed this topic on Nine's 3AW 693AM Radio Melbourne yesterday as a result of an article in The Sydney Morning Herald by Jessica Yun 📻
