Gen Z handles multiple tasks using AI tools<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nGen Z workers are increasingly moving away from traditional full-time roles and adopting multi-employment or working multiple jobs at the same time. A study conducted by Deputy based on millions of shifts and working hours shows that more than half of those working multiple jobs are from Gen Z.<\/p>\n
Why is Gen Z choosing multi-employment?<\/h2>\n
According to the report, there has been a record increase in the number of poly-workers in the last decade. Although some employees become poly-workers due to their increasing expenses, most Gen Z members choose poly-workship because of the flexibility and freedom.<\/p>\n
Deputy CEO Silvija Martinsvi\u010d said the trend reflected both economic realities and cultural changes. According to his explanation, the increase in multiple employment does not indicate a decline in the job market, as it reflects how changes in the workforce occur through economic factors and generational effects.<\/p>\n
For many young workers, relying on a single employer no longer feels safe. Instead, they are spreading risk across multiple roles while gaining more control over their schedules.<\/p>\n
The increase in multi-tasking practices at workplaces is currently related to the increasing application of artificial intelligence in various work tasks. AI applications improve workload management for some Gen Z employees, enabling them to handle multiple work responsibilities.<\/p>\n
Deputy’s data shows that many employees believe AI technology enhances their ability to plan schedules and complete work tasks. Technology does not provide benefits for all users. <\/p>\n
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has issued a warning that AI technology will reduce the availability of entry-level jobs. This development will create additional challenges for youth who are looking for work.<\/p>\n
Gen Z workers who oppose AI technology believe that its implementation will destroy their employment opportunities. As employment opportunities are decreasing, the practice of holding multiple jobs has become an established method of work. The work patterns of Gen Z workers experiencing unemployment and job uncertainty have shifted toward alternative work arrangements.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
