An increasing number of Australians are taking up a second job, which, to some experts, indicates the impact of rising inflation and costs of living on households across the country.

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the number of Australians with multiple jobs rose to a record of 900,000 individuals in the June quarter, an increase of 4.3 percent compared to the previous three months and eight percent compared to a year ago.
