The popularity of side hustles is waning, according to a recent survey by Bankrate, but there are many Americans still looking to make money outside of their full-time jobs.
More than a quarter, 27% of American adults have a side hustle — down from 36% last year. Nearly half, 41% of them say they use that income for discretionary spending, and 35% report using the money for everyday living expenses.
For anyone still considering picking up a side hustle, there are a multitude of options: dog-sitting, selling products and services on Etsy, rideshares like Lyft and Uber, house cleaning, social media work.
But if you’re a people person and prefer a job with a little more human interaction, there are some side hustles that basically let you hang out and get paid.
