In the past 20 years, the number of multi-jobbers has more than doubled. According to the Federal Employment Agency, there are over 3.5 million people in Germany who do more than just work.

Multijobbers should keep four points in mind when taking up additional employment. Many people forget to take into account the additional costs (such as travel costs) Stiftung Warentest also points out that what appears to be an attractive gross additional income at first glance can potentially become a disappointment when it comes to the monthly payroll.
