Query:
Hi, my name is Shawn. I am a writer for CNBC's Invest In
You/Grow vertical. We are working on a story about American's
views on side-hustles, based on recent survey results of 2,000
adults from the savings and investing app Acorns. Our audience
is young adults who are actively thinking about their budgets
and financial futures whether they have a little or a lot saved.
Here are the key points: A third of workers report having a side
hustle and an additional fifth want to start one. In total a
third of workers (34%) report having a side hustle alongside
their regular employment, while an additional fifth (19%) would
like to start one.
So not many people WANT a side hustle but need one to make ends
meet.
* Why have side hustles become so important amid the
coronavirus pandemic? Why is it important to have extra income?
* If you cannot find/do not want a side gig, what are some
alternatives to make extra cash (specifically: get a raise/new
jo, spend less and save more or income, invest in a high-yield
account)? * Anything to add not covered above?
We are hoping to have the story live and looking to get response
by around 3:30-4:00 p.m. EST, with some flexibility. I will be
accepting responses/inquiries at shawn.carter@nbcuni.com, and
will reach out directly for additional questions, follow up.
Thanks a ton and I hope all is well!
Looking forward, -- Shawn M. Carter Writer, CNBC Grow Twitter:
