Abstract

Between 2014 and 2022, the Brazilian economy underwent a long-lasting economic recession. This study uses data from the Continuous National Household Sample Survey (PNAD Contínua) to estimate a logit model that evaluates the effects of each state’s unemployment rate on the probability of an individual’s decision to take on a second occupation. Our findings suggest that the higher unemployment rates are associated with the overall reduction of the second job opportunities, even though dummies representing the pandemic years (2020 – 2022) had positive coefficients. The main contribution of this paper is to shed light on how multiple job holding behaves in years of economic crisis in a developing country such as Brazil.
