3 in 10 Singapore full-time workers are part-timers also: survey

Does this entail bigger savings?

According to a survey by JobsCentral, 30.8 per cent of Singapore workers surveyed admitted having additional sources of income to supplement their full-time salary. 

Moonlighting takes the lead, with 30.5 of these Singapore workers citing part-time jobs as their preferred means of additional income. Others rely on passive wealth growth, like dividends from stocks/bonds (26.8%), and property rental income (12.1%).

As for savings, 55.5 per cent of Singapore workers save less than one-fifth of their income each month, while another 5.2 per cent do not save at all.

In terms of spending, the majority of the workers spend the bulk of their salary on necessities like food, transport and allowances for parents or children. 23.6 per cent confessed they would spend the bulk of their salary on entertainment, while 15.1 per cent said they would spend the majority of their salary on travel.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
