Title: These Are the Top 10 Most Profitable Side Hustles in 2023

As Americans try to save more money, these are the best jobs for those seeking extra income.

With pay raises set to disappoint and almost 40% of Americans resolving to save more in 2023, some are looking for new ways to generate extra income with a side hustle.

Even as the US job market remains strong, so does inflation, leading some to seek more money. While Labor Department data shows that wages rose 4.6% in December compared to a year earlier, that still lags inflation, which rose 7.1% in November from last year. Labor force participation ticked up in December and the unemployment rate dropped to 3.5%, a five-decade low.

“Given rising interest rates, inflation and other rising costs, people are more inclined to sign up for a side gig to cover the increasing cost of living,” said Sinem Buber, lead economist at ZipRecruiter. Side hustles also become more common in strong labor markets — like the one we’re in now — when opportunities are plentiful, Buber said. Lining up a second part-time job may also provide a cushion in case layoffs spill over from big tech into the rest of the economy.

ZipRecruiter analyzed listings to identify jobs that can be done part-time with few or no starting requirements and ranked them by average hourly wages. Some popular side hustles like blogging or content creation didn’t make the list because they’re typically freelance and not listed on job sites.

These are the 10 most profitable side-gigs, according to ZipRecruiter:

1.  Family assistant

Coming in at number one is “family assistant,” which usually involves some combination of cooking, cleaning, childcare, running errands, coordinating schedules and handling other household administrative tasks. Though many family assistants live with their employers and work full-time, part-time positions are available.

2. Craftsman

Craftsmen include specialists like carpenters, metal workers and glass blowers. Certificate programs, trade schools and community college offer training.

3. Sales specialist

Sales specialists work in a range of industries from tech to real estate to insurance. A sales representative reaches out to potential customers and manages those relationships.

4. Quality assurance reviewer


Quality assurance reviewers monitor, inspect and test products to ensure the company’s standards are upheld. QA reviewers can work in a wide range of sectors like food safety, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing and software.

5. Care coordinator

Care coordinators oversee and monitor patient care, usually in hospitals or long-term patient care facilities. The job involves coordinating schedules, working with patients and their families and organizing documentation and medical records.

6. Event representative

Event representatives organize special events for clients and help promote, set up and run the campaign. For example, event representatives could staff tradeshows or festivals, talking to potential customers and marketing products or services.

7. Driver

Many types of companies need commercial drivers, including construction, health care and retail.

8. Customer service

Customer service representatives resolve complaints and help clients with technical issues over the phone or via email.

9. Nursing aide

Nursing assistants support health-care staff by administering medication and providing basic care in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes and assisted living facilities.

10. Lead generator

Commonly known as telemarketers, lead generators reach out to prospective clients by phone, email and social media, answering questions about services and scheduling appointments.

Our recent slew of high job quitting statistics could correlate with uptrends in freelance work and side hustles.

Quote
This past year, 39% of American professionals participated in freelance work, either part-time or full-time, according to Upworks new survey of 3,000 adults. Thats equivalent to 60 million Americans, up 3 percentage points since 2021 and a record high since Upwork has performed said survey starting in 2014.

While it is not mentioned which income bracket the majority of quit jobs fall into. It is entirely possible the largest segment of quit jobs occur at the minimum wage level.

There was a study published many years ago which could not determine how minimum wage earners pay their bills off of their income. With mandatory spending rising at fast rates. These negative trends could significantly have worsened. Which could define a trend whereby many quit their jobs as their salaries no longer allowed them to afford to cover basic bills.

It is known that many seeking help have high difficulty finding workers. Looking at the above chart where side hustle jobs with salaries as high as $20 can be had at an entry level with "few or no starting experience". Perhaps we begin to see why workers are abandoning minimum wage employment opportunities at high percentages.

While I don't think this illustrates the entire picture. There are perhaps a lot of things going on which are not being defined. Perhaps it is a step in the right direction.

What a complete mix of professions. Funny that there is almost similar demand in nurses and drivers. A person must study years to become a real nurse (not just clean-feed-repeat kinda of person). Persons needs proper education, experience, be responsible. When you only need few weekends with your dad to learn how to drive, a book of traffic laws and few hours to pass tests.

The job title is nursing aide.

The qualifications are similar to a lifeguard afaik. They only have to know CPR and other basics which do not have a serious learning curve to them.

Does that mean those who don't go through health/nursing school can enter to become the nurse assistant you mean?
 
I call it job vacancies where the impact of the resignation of workers in America makes it difficult for a company or a business to operate optimally due to a shortage of workers.
I thought I was interested, but I am not an American and of course far outside America, so it requires a fairly complicated administrative process and I have to leave my hometown to try my luck in America.
Can people outside of America get it?
In advance, I would like to thank you for the information.

Nursing jobs are categorized as being inside the healthcare industry in the USA. I think most have heard healthcare is expensive in america. Which might give one the impression of nurses being highly paid in the country. Which is accurate as certified nurses in some US states can earn near to $100,000 a year or close to $50 an hour.

The $16 an hour nursing aide position is considerably lower due to it not requiring nursing school credentials, (as far as I know). Although, it might require long hours. And jobs that many would not want to do. Such as cleaning bedpans, mopping blood and similar tasks. There is a shortage of nursing staff in many areas of the USA, which could mean there are many job openings. But to be honest, I can't say that I have looked or checked to see if such is the case.

When I worked in construction, there were illegal immigrants on the job. Starting pay can go as high as $100 a day. Although the work isn't necessarily something most would want to do. There is usually no healthcare to fallback on in case you get injured. Sometimes, you might end up handling aesbestos and other harmful materials without the benefit of a safety mask.

Every good prospect usually has its negatives which causes others to not want the job.

At the moment, I think US jobs are easier to find than normal. I have seen contractors in the construction industry on social media and youtube complaining no one wants to work. Despite generous offers of good salary. It is strange.

To someone living outside the USA, $16 an hour might sound like a lot of money. But you have to consider that everything from rent to food is much more expensive in the USA, than it is abroad. Many americans are moving to places with average lower cost of living, or paying for their monthly expenses on credit card. Due to their salaries not covering expenses.

But a person still must be familiar with medicine and etc. Coz people that require such person by their side usually are old and on an edge "when everything unexpected can happen". They might ask for, I dont know, stretching, massage, pills, medicine shot. Inexperienced can only do things worse. Usually relatives hire nursing aide for their old family member and expect that this nurse will do everything and is "doctor-friend-cook-collegue" all-in-one person.

Almost all of them require training, so the first paragraph of that article is misleading and they even mention the requirements themselves:

  • QA reviewers can work in a wide range of sectors like food safety, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing and software.

So, first you need training, so it's not like you have no clue you start working, you must go through training and learning, and if you're not good at it, then you don't get the job, just as QA, it's not like you go in the first day and they hand you a food bag and you're delivering pizza, you need to know how to do it and you might be a total wreck so you get kicked out before actually working even 1 minute.
As for the "sale specialist" how the hell can one be a sale specialist when he has no experience in sales whatsoever?
In order to be a sale specialist you must have at least basic knowledge so this is more like getting a better job than your past one!

"Few" requirements, to be a specialist, lol!

Content is king on this era and anything related to social media is one of the most profitable side hustles that one can make. I've worked before related to #10 and it's not lucrative before since social media wasn't that big before. But I'm starting to see that money is everywhere on this niche and someone has just to know the area of expertise that they need to focus with. And if somebody is aware of SMM (Social media marketing/managing), this should need a place on that list but that's okay if it's not there but many knows that it's very lucrative these days to get involved with.

Not a licensed nurse really but they should also act as a responsible nursing aide as they can also part of saving lives. Even if he/she gets only to assist the licensed nurse, but at least his knowledge should also be not limited to being a nursing aide only because there are really some instances that their knowledge and skills will be tested especially for those hospital establishments who lack the manpower. But as long as the licensed nurse is there, he/she should remain a nursing aide.

Probably needs a lot of trainings and seminar, though a nursing degree might not be a requirement since you’ll just be the assistant of the real nurse, maybe you only have to know the first aid and you can be good just like the volunteers. Family assistant might not be a good idea, because in my country of you’re too helpful they will abuse you and use your service for free for their own sake, so this one might not be a good idea for a side hustle or maybe depends on the country you’re living.

Well, everything comes with process and definitely have no shortcuts, so trainings are very much essential so that you will suit to the job title and you will know eventually the do’s and dont’s of the job. These type of jobs will only be profitable if you also do them with experience and skills, otherwise you will not be an effective worker so you end up messing around than working to be productive.

The decision is up to you if you want your service for free.  After all, they can't force you to work if you do not want to and do not agree to the term.  And I think this is one good side hustle because there are lots of families that need this kind of service and the demands actually pile up so there is no shortage of demand orders if you are known to offer this kind of service.

Food delivery as a part-time hustle is also not a bad idea; I see a lot of people on social media claiming that it's capable of providing a decent side income. However, don't all these jobs require you to work quite a few hours per week? These are supposed to be side hustles, not a main source of income; thus, if you're working about 40-50 hours a week, isn't it a bit too much to add another 10-20 hours on top of that? I'm sure that this varies from country to country, but I'm referring to the general rule. 

Delivering for large corporations, for instance, could be a side hustle since you're basically a freelancer and you choose how many deliveries you do in a day. The exact same rule also applies to drivers, such as Ubers.

Among all of these, I guess being a craftsman will take you to more places if you do it more often. They are very in demand in the US afaik, specially those who are experts in woodworking because there aren't many professionals left that are practicing this. Also, it's one of the hardest side-hustle to do initially because you will be needing to allot time and effort to study the craft before earning something off of it.

The list as a whole is very doable to the common folk. What lacks, perhaps, is the dedication and motivation to do more than the normal 9-5 job. My current job already puts me on a spot of comfort financially, but I still prefer having a second job just to keep me busy because I don't have anything else to do anyway. But for other people, having a second job is very crucial because it helps pay the bills and put food in the table. Sadly though, we are in a time when having a second job is no longer an option but a necessity that people should take if they want to live comfortably.

I would agree to this that social media these days are the best resort to find a profitable side hustle since almost all of the audience are already active in social media. Especially if you are doing it with your skills and expertise, people will eventually love your craft and would end up trusting you and giving you their full support.

It's quite unusual to me to see people quitting their jobs because of how low the salary is (and is not even increasing), which I think is the right thing to do. But, in a country like where I am situated at, people are suffering and forcing themselves to stay in a job with a low minimum wage because it is hard for them to find another job. I knew some if these people tried to find a side hustle, sacrificing their bodies with a 12-15 hrs of working time. IMO, one of the thing that people failed to realize that being in the sales could potentially give you less extended working time and more income, because everything can be posted and advertised in the internet/social media these days.

I'm surprised this is also what's happening here in my country. I don't have the statistics, but based on my experience on the ground, minimum wage employment opportunities, although a stable source of income, are now ditched. Side hustles become a more attractive choice to many. I can name a number of friends who are graduates in the university but also didn't pursue employment. The same goes to people who don't have degrees. They simply aren't interested in employment opportunities. Perhaps I, too, am one of the examples.

Really?  I know there are different levels of nursing, e.g., APRN, RN, and CNA.  The last is certified nursing assistant, and I think it requires certification at least which means you'd have to get some kind of education. 

Anyway, these don't seem like side hustles (except perhaps for driving) so much as regular jobs.  Are we calling a second job side hustles these days?  I don't think that term was meant to describe what's listed here.  You'd think Bloomberg would make the distinction with their listicles, but journalism these days has standards so low that an ant wouldn't be able to crawl underneath them.  Yeesh.

I think in my area one of the most popular side jobs is lowballing the hell out of people on Craigslist or Facebook market place and eventually getting a lead on some product and selling it at a higher mark up. You would not believe the one of times I had one dude say stuff like “Instead of $100 how about $20 and I’ll pick up right away” and if you go to his profile you can see he already has what you are selling for $120.

Cars are the worst. So many curb siders. Basically it’s a pain to sell a car because they will offer you usually $1-2K under market and it’s a pain to buy from them because they have a sketchy looking title which obviously wasn’t signed by them.

I was thinking if food delivery is one of the good side hustles for 2023, but I think the wage or income on this is low because, as we can see now, there are a lot of food delivery drivers right now, but the demand of customers to have food delivered to their homes is low. Craftsmanship is a really good side hustle as long as you have skills. Graphic designers has also part-time on it because you will be an assistant to those lead graphic designers, and you can accept design-based or project-based work.

The lack of rigorous training required for entry makes these side businesses beneficial. Additionally, it will only take a few weeks to pick up and begin going.
Flipping sofas online has been one of my side businesses since last year. I search online and even offline for folks who wish to give away their used sofas. Aside from possibly in my neighborhood, I mainly locate them on Facebook Marketplace. I purchase them for nearly nothing, clean them up, and then relist them on Facebook Marketplace.
I sell them there for a decent profit.

I really respect people who do side hustles like this to make ends meet, or just to try and stack as much capital as possible.  It's just amazing to me how many people are willing to sit home and collect government checks and live a life of minimal nothingness.

I wonder what the number one side hustles are in terms of like, internet side hustle..like bitcoin talk campagins and bounty programs, taking surveys, watching ads etc.

These type of jobs will only be profitable if you also do them with experience and skills, otherwise you will not be an effective worker so you end up messing around than working to be productive.
I think it also depends on our boss. There are some boss who are too kind and will just let their workers work on their own way. What matters for them is that the job is still being done, at the end of the day. Even without a proper training, a worker can still observe their co-workers, and copy their moves accordingly, if it's a workspace which includes different number of people. After all, those who have a pre-existing skill and experience do always have an edge and can get accepted easily or can be promoted easily.

Anyway, am I the only one who thinks that most jobs in the OP's list aren't really considered as a side hustle but they are more like a full-time job? HHmm...   ???

The pay from some side hustles are big enough to keep them comfortable for some weeks, better than earning monthly from working in an office. Talking about side hustles, One of the most profitable side hustles could be the job of a middle man or and intermediary for deals claiming a percentage for every deal sealed. This job is very unpopular and the requirement mostly is that you have contacts of people who perform various services and contacts of people who need these services. It is a dangerous job mind you, but with wisdom you can secure a life changing percentage from a closed deal.

This really depends, but side hustles are usually less than your main job; it's just that you add another source of income because your main job's salary is insufficient to cover your bills. Also, having side hustles is very difficult because you have things to sacrifice like time and sleep. That is why I respect those kinds of people, mostly if they have family to feed, as they are doing this for their family so that they can provide a comfortable life for their children. I also do a side hustle right now, and it is very tiring overtime, but I will use my family as motivation so that I can survive the day.

Not surprised that Lead Generation and Customer Service are part of the list. I work as a VA in Upwork and I see crap ton of those jobs, though I would say that there are a lot of VAs at the site already like a single simple Lead Generation job would be hounded by 50+ proposals/applications. I applied to one just couple of months ago and the client did not even bother reading my application even if I was like having plenty of records already at that site as a Top Rated.

I would say it is somehow saturated in Upwork.

Honestly if you are looking for any side hustle you need to learn something online. Gone are the day when you would learn plumbering, building assistance or any other low jobs, the internet offers more than any one can ask for and you can be your own boss.

In my country we actually have low employment rate because the government has chosen not to create any employment avenue but through the internet many youth has been able to find something to do.

There are already lots of online jobs that are in demand nowadays. It's an open opportunity for everyone especially those who want to work remotely and in the comfort of their homes. Skills in these types of jobs could be learned also online through courses and other resources that we can find on the internet.
Enhancing and developing more skills would also offer us more opportunities in the future.
Physical job opportunities are just limited nowadays and the competition is too high despite our good credentials so we better find good jobs with higher compensation online.

These negative trends could significantly have worsened. Which could define a trend whereby many quit their jobs as their salaries no longer allowed them to afford to cover basic bills.

It is known that many seeking help have high difficulty finding workers. Looking at the above chart where side hustle jobs with salaries as high as $20 can be had at an entry level with "few or no starting experience". Perhaps we begin to see why workers are abandoning minimum wage employment opportunities at high percentages.

While I don't think this illustrates the entire picture. There are perhaps a lot of things going on which are not being defined. Perhaps it is a step in the right direction.

It's interesting to see all the categories that people are side hustling in because this basically defines what is profitable. People move on from unprofitable sectors and they are much less likely to pop up when such surveys are taken, as these skills have been acquired over many months or years. It's particularly interesting to see the craftsman show up so high, but then I guess it covers everything from woodworking to arts and many others. In reality these side hustles are often in areas that people have found profitability or maybe just hobbies that developed into something that they could sell to others, that can be one advantage - it's not necessarily a job if you love doing it.

In my country we actually have low employment rate because the government has chosen not to create any employment avenue but through the internet many youth has been able to find something to do.
Don't expect jobs from the government because they don't have time to think about the people except allocating state funds for big projects so that they take the funds for their own pockets. I focus on online jobs to learn knowledge of content creation for youtube videos and also try other skills for alternatives to get jobs online, my friends have made tens of thousands of dollars of online income.

Here in my country, remote work has become preferred, especially after the Corona epidemic. People have tried remote work and found many advantages and more profits in it.

Most of the people here are full-time employees so they are looking for an easy extra job to increase their income and cover living costs that are rising every day due to inflation, so they find the best way to work through the internet, especially social media, which has become very popular in marketing media.

They promote products through social media and get a percentage of the profits according to their selling activity.

The pay from some side hustles are big enough to keep them comfortable for some weeks, better than earning monthly from working in an office. Talking about side hustles, One of the most profitable side hustles could be the job of a middle man or and intermediary for deals claiming a percentage for every deal sealed. This job is very unpopular and the requirement mostly is that you have contacts of people who perform various services and contacts of people who need these services. It is a dangerous job mind you, but with wisdom you can secure a life changing percentage from a closed deal.
This really depends, but side hustles are usually less than your main job; it's just that you add another source of income because your main job's salary is insufficient to cover your bills. Also, having side hustles is very difficult because you have things to sacrifice like time and sleep. That is why I respect those kinds of people, mostly if they have family to feed, as they are doing this for their family so that they can provide a comfortable life for their children. I also do a side hustle right now, and it is very tiring overtime, but I will use my family as motivation so that I can survive the day.
It is not exactly the same thing. I mean if you have a main job and a side hustle, your side hustle could become your main job as well. That's what happened to me, I used to work somewhere, but then found my current job and then I started to earn more from this than my real job and stopped going to my main job and started to just use my then side hustle to be my main job instead.

It has worked so well that I have been doing it for over 6 years now, because it turned out to be better than any job I have ever had, in fact better job than anyone I know. Hence, your side hustle doesn't need to be a small income all the time, it could very well become your main job slowly.

Honestly if you are looking for any side hustle you need to learn something online. Gone are the day when you would learn plumbering, building assistance or any other low jobs, the internet offers more than any one can ask for and you can be your own boss.

In my country we actually have low employment rate because the government has chosen not to create any employment avenue but through the internet many youth has been able to find something to do.

There are already lots of online jobs that are in demand nowadays. It's an open opportunity for everyone especially those who want to work remotely and in the comfort of their homes. Skills in these types of jobs could be learned also online through courses and other resources that we can find on the internet.
Enhancing and developing more skills would also offer us more opportunities in the future.
Physical job opportunities are just limited nowadays and the competition is too high despite our good credentials so we better find good jobs with higher compensation online.
The internet is filled with remote jobs now, but it isn't as perfect as it sounds. Generally, they feature IT and tech jobs that aren't available to someone who doesn't have the education and work experience. You mention that competition in the physical job market is excessive; however, that isn't much different in online jobs either, since you're theoretically competing with the whole world. Remote working is great, but unfortunately it's not as easy as it sounds.

I've studied in the economics department but I've yet to find a job in my field. I'm considering the option of online work if I happen to find a position that suits me.

These are the 10 most profitable side-gigs, according to ZipRecruiter:

1.  Family assistant
For this work, the increasing trend does not only occur in the United States, Asia Pacific is also the country that contributes the most to family assistants. Currently, women dominate the work of household assistants and there are positive and negative sides to this work.

This looks like a second job, except Driver and Domestic Assistant, because the other jobs you mentioned can be done as part time workers. But whatever the name, family assistants are always the biggest demand, even in Asia Pacific this job is often used by women to go to rich countries such as the Middle East and beyond.

I was playing around with chatgpt last night and asked the same keyword although not a side hustle entirely but it could also be done like that. The idea was IoT, AI and machine learning.

So, like where are we right now, we're starting to see the trend for AI. And the valuation for its market is getting bigger after Microsoft has given its bid for openai/chatgpt.

Someone can still have a side hustle with this whether on the developer side or just want to work part time on it since the competition of its market may not that be saturated yet.

He is now a millionaire here in our country after many years of spending hard work on those jobs that only categorized as side hustles. Is hustle salary in there is almost equal to the minimum wage of corporate worker or there's a huge gap in the value?

That was a very interesting read and I agree with the author that side jobs are going up be very important in 2023. So far the economic outlook for this year is not much better and inflation will probably be around 7-10%, whereas as wages are not going to match the increase in living expenses. Looking for some form of side hustle will be the only option for some people to cover the price increase. Especially the family assistance and the nursing aide are two factors that are supported by the government in my country. You can get some extra budget from the healthcare insurance that can be used to help your family and elders. And this money doesn't need to go to professionals, if you know a friend who is willing to help out you could give him the job and not only help your grandparents but also a friend in need.

Depends on what you would be engaging yourself into. The advantage of side job is being able to compress your schedule and to be able to earn more basically. But if you will just be earning minimum with three jobs, better find a single one but has decent salary instead. On the usual, ofcourse it would be logically higher and it should be because you are simply having bigger workload over regular employees. If it is just equal there is a problem with your decision making 'coz you'd end up overworking yourself. The term I guess, being used at the present is freelancing on different fields. No matter what you want to call it, the goal is simply to earn more and if it is not being met, be worried that you are just wasting time and energy.

You are competing against tons and tons of people because unlike an on the spot employment, people can have multiple online jobs at once, hence why its difficult. If there are any high paying online jobs which pay at least min wage of any modern country, let me know.

This is why here in my country, it is advised to still get an experience first in the local ones. To be honest, many are looking for an abroad work since wages here are kinda low and if you're going to aim for 6-digit salary, better go overseas or......go freelance which is an alternative if you hate travelling.

The global competition of workers is kinda getting ridiculous and makes you think every market you can imagine could already be saturated.

It's a pain in the ass to enter a signature campaign anymore. Only minimal positions are open, with the majority of them being due to inactivity or inferior post quality. With new campaigns being introduced only once in a blue moon, the chance of filling a single empty position is extremely vague. Personally, I was lucky to enter Roobet when they were recruiting more members.

Unfortunately, the era of a plethora of signature campaigns is over, maybe for a good reason because lots of smaller ones were recruiting spammers and lower-quality posters. Anyway. The job market online is incredibly tough, as I already mentioned in a previous post. If you're a university graduate, your best bet could possibly be an online internship, which could give you a head start for the future.

I think family assistant, QA reviewer, care coordinator and nursing aide aren't a side hustle because you're need to work for long and it's a routine jobs where you must be ready when someone needs you, not you're the one who can choose when you want to work. Flexible working hours and flexible working place are the important requirement to meet as a side hustle for me.

I was thinking if food delivery is one of the good side hustles for 2023, but I think the wage or income on this is low because, as we can see now, there are a lot of food delivery drivers right now, but the demand of customers to have food delivered to their homes is low.
It's because you're live in third world countries where the people is so stingy, food delivery is no doubt get pay for low, but usually a humble rich people will give you a high tip especially if you deliver the foods during rainy or hot. I think food delivery and driver are have similarity, the main difference is the transportation they used.

People's decision to leave their jobs is influenced by the minimum wage to some extent. When compared to the cost of living, the minimum wage in my country is so low that it makes it practically hard for workers and other low-income earners to make ends meet. These employees have staged a number of little protests in an effort to get the owner to raise their pay. However, I believe it will be difficult for the situation to improve if the government does nothing to safeguard its citizens.

It's safe to assume that the wealth disparity will never close.

I don't live in the United States, but most of the jobs in the OP are definitely not side hustles in my country (i don't know if they are in the United States of America). I mean, there is hardly any job (as unemployment rate is pretty high) for these to be called side jobs/hustles. Where i come from, and with the extreme burden of labor, it would be almost impossible to combine these jobs in the OP with another different job (mostly 9-5) entirely, that's why they can't be called a side hustle/jobs.

Having said that, quite a lot of people in my country are searching for side hustles to complement their physical jobs that provides little or no income, but most of the side jobs over here are mostly done online, thus you can conveniently do what's expected of you from the comfort of your home, prolly after you must have closed for the day from your brick and mortar job.

Whether online or in the physical job it is really difficult because of the competition of applicants because of the pandemic, a lot of graduates, and people who lost their job finding another job on which the competitions now in finding job is very difficult, whether online or on those job fairs but the key on this is patience and have that skill that you will be outstanding on everyone else so that the employer can see you and hire you. I am working remotely right now I would say before I got into this job a lot of applicants went thru, it is just my skills are the key that I am able to get in.

At the moment, I think US jobs are easier to find than normal. I have seen contractors in the construction industry on social media and youtube complaining no one wants to work. Despite generous offers of good salary. It is strange.

When COVID hit and the U.S. government found it prudent to wipe away trillions of dollars in global economic output, they essentially created a social welfare state through supplemental unemployment checks that ranged from 400-600 USD per week. These checks were regardless of what someone made before being laid off due to COVID lockdowns/restrictions, so of course it didn't factor in for cost of living, but nonetheless there were some figures that showed a large portion of U.S. workers making more off unemployment than actually working. You can imagine the labor shortage it would create when the government's welfare state paid people to work zero hours a week.

Those checks lasted from March 2020 (they were retroactively applied if I'm not mistaken so someone could claim unemployment aid from previous weeks) all the way to October 2021. The U.S. was not alone -- Europe dabbled in extremely generous unemployment aid.

Seems like the labor shortage hasn't resolved itself, but we sure know how it started.

I am going to be straight about this, those listed jobs does not seem to be side hustles to me. They look like full time jobs to me and should get bonuses along with it. I dont know how one can be in side hustle while driving a cab? You have to have whole day and night to earn pretty handsome money out of it, its definitely full time jobs. Now I do not want to brief every jobs mentioned but I have been there. If we really want to do the side hustle in the current era then it is more or less digital side hustle that can save up good time and money for us. I mean writing a blog, making videos, working part time alongside your real job would be actual side hustle for me. Not the job which will take up 9 to 5 place!

This is a good list. The one which caught my attention which I was introduced to last year was driving. Because I live in a third world country where one need to hustle real hard, I took up driving as a side gig. Driving is fun. I got a car that meets the requirements for an e-hailing company and started to drive for them. It is my personal car so I do it when I want. The upside of this is that now have a disposable income and I am able to save more. I also get to meet alot of clients. I have gotten business contracts and expanded my network through this. The downside is that, when you drive so much, it starts to tell on the car. Too many visits to the auto shop.

This also caught my eye, kinda can't see them as a side hustle, especially the FA. We're just in the process of vetting one, and yes, it's definitely not a short-term thing.

I feel like those jobs require the person to be an integral part of their employee's life and schedule, hard to see having non-side hustle jobs next to that, other than maybe, well - side hustles.  :D

Although these aren't really side jobs, it depends on where the person lives. I believe having a side job and working in a nursing home is regarded as a side hustle in the US. I welcome criticism. According to the definition of a side hustle side hustle (https://www.dictionary.com/browse/side-hustle), A side hustle is a job or career that one pursues in addition to their primary employment and source of income. But I don't believe any of these jobs can be categorized as side hustles if someone does them full-time.

What a complete mix of professions. Funny that there is almost similar demand in nurses and drivers. A person must study years to become a real nurse (not just clean-feed-repeat kinda of person). Persons needs proper education, experience, be responsible. When you only need few weekends with your dad to learn how to drive, a book of traffic laws and few hours to pass tests.
Yeah, babysitters have been a thing for a long long time and I think they will continue to be like that for a long time more, it's a bit more American to be fair, because in my nation we just leave the kids to grandparents and they are always happy to look for their grandkids at anytime you do that, it's free, hell it's even profitable lol.

So, I would have to say that globally, others are a bit better, and some of them are a bit harder to do than the rest, they are not jobs for unqualified people, like lead generation is not something you can do if you do not have the skills for it. This is why I honestly believe that the best thing to do would be learning a skill or two in order to make more money.

The employer must ask for recommendations and references from previous employers before hiring the candidate. Some educational background must be also needed in some cases. The fact is that most of those side jobs involve a lot of responsability and commitment. Family assistant has a lot of tasks to complete and can be decisive in a family's routine. It has to be a dynamic, energical, attentive and smart person to fulfill that spot. The hourly payrates are huge! My doubt is for how many hours someone can work as a family assistant. If they can work for 8 hours daily, it's almost 200$ a day! Here in my country people work almost an entire month to earn that amount.

Food delivery as a part-time hustle is also not a bad idea; I see a lot of people on social media claiming that it's capable of providing a decent side income. However, don't all these jobs require you to work quite a few hours per week? These are supposed to be side hustles, not a main source of income; thus, if you're working about 40-50 hours a week, isn't it a bit too much to add another 10-20 hours on top of that? I'm sure that this varies from country to country, but I'm referring to the general rule. 

Delivering for large corporations, for instance, could be a side hustle since you're basically a freelancer and you choose how many deliveries you do in a day. The exact same rule also applies to drivers, such as Ubers.
yep, food delivery is a side job that gives good money and this has been proven by one of my friends who has a side job as a food delivery man, he said as long as you are good at managing time then you don't have to worry about this annoying food delivery job your main job.  as long as you still have great enthusiasm, why should you be ashamed or hesitant to be a food delivery person, you have done well by delivering other people's food because everyone has different circumstances and it is possible that the person using your services is a disabled person.

Yes, being a driver with the apps company like Uber or anything that's the same is a good side hustle. If you have a car ready for rental or you don't use at most times and you have to pay its mortgage, you might just want to use it for those app-ride hailing apps because they're profitable.

You work at any time you wish and at the same time, you'll be earning the money that you'll pay for its monthly obligations.

Driving isn't just all about trucks and big heavy loaders but don't forget that the economy and market for it is quite big these days and it's not just in the US but also in many other countries.

These are supposed to be side hustles, not a main source of income; thus, if you're working about 40-50 hours a week, isn't it a bit too much to add another 10-20 hours on top of that? I'm sure that this varies from country to country, but I'm referring to the general rule. 

Delivering for large corporations, for instance, could be a side hustle since you're basically a freelancer and you choose how many deliveries you do in a day. The exact same rule also applies to drivers, such as Ubers.
yep, food delivery is a side job that gives good money and this has been proven by one of my friends who has a side job as a food delivery man, he said as long as you are good at managing time then you don't have to worry about this annoying food delivery job your main job.  as long as you still have great enthusiasm, why should you be ashamed or hesitant to be a food delivery person, you have done well by delivering other people's food because everyone has different circumstances and it is possible that the person using your services is a disabled person.

I don't understand why you said "why should you be ashamed of being delivery rider?" Man, who said that? I don't even see it in the post you've quoted lol.
And, 90% of the time, those who ordered food are not disabled people, instead, they are the busy who people who does not want to go outside their offices as they find it more convenient to get a delivery service.
One last thing, due to the fact that delivery riders got incentives with every booking, most of them don't treat it as a side hustle, but the main source of income. You know why? Because, the extra side hustle is within the parameters of this job and that's called "tip".

Are drivers really side or hustle? I think most places it is full time jobs but I agree that it is profitable depending on the type of motor they drive. Company drivers in big buses and trucks are really paid well because it requires more stress than just driving the CEOS or other executives. But I do not agree that it should be considered as side hustle. It is even a professional job because any driver can't just drive any truck, caterpillars etc.
Yes, being a driver with the apps company like Uber or anything that's the same is a good side hustle. If you have a car ready for rental or you don't use at most times and you have to pay its mortgage, you might just want to use it for those app-ride hailing apps because they're profitable.

You work at any time you wish and at the same time, you'll be earning the money that you'll pay for its monthly obligations.

Driving isn't just all about trucks and big heavy loaders but don't forget that the economy and market for it is quite big these days and it's not just in the US but also in many other countries.
Not only that the barrier to entry is very low, many of those companies do not even require that you have a car, as I have seen a lot of people using a bicycle to make their deliveries, now obviously such a thing will require that you have a decent physical condition, however this can be seen as a side benefit as all of that cardio is good for the body, so not only those which make their deliveries like this earn money but they can also improve their health in the process.

All these could be called a side hustle if actually or truly the person have those skills. For one to engages himself with those side hustle, he or she needs to have those knowledge before taking them as side hustle.
E.g., Like Driving, if someone didn't have a good practice or a good standard i don't think such person can run it as a side hustle, perhaps, he must be very good in driving or driving to the international standard.
If i were a driver in Nigeria, and i moved down to U.S, i can't just immediately applied for driving and i got employed rather i will also go to a driving school over there to get to their standard before any company in U.S could possibly get me hired. So is applicable to rest side hustle apart from Nursing. It requires at least having an OND certificates from any Authorized college or institute before one could be at least be allowed to operate as an assistant.

It's really a difficult thing but you could even make this a full-time job. I know plenty of people who went to USA and then started being a Uber driver after a while, and they started to make their entire living out of that.

Of course, these were not people who were uneducated or anything so they had some skills that they could use as well, but they just didn't because Uber made them THAT much money. I know a family and both husband and wife they do Uber and they are making more money than median family income of an American household, which is about 60k give or take, and they are making about 88k together per year, which is proof of how much you could make with these.

sorry i think there's a little misunderstanding here, i'm just offending the words of some of my friends who are embarrassed to be food delivery, they think it's a bad job even though many people get a pretty good extra income from that.

This can't be compared to the rest per time job as most times can be considered the easiest job or task to do(work).
Sorry to say this, then, I wanted to go into driving and I discussed with my family they said for my country driving isn't that a pretty cool job to do as it doesn't involved tasking one's mental ability and thinking to create and to improve daily.
From part of the world where i came from, drivers are lesser paid and most at times people under it find it difficulties to cope with their family pressure due to their pay rate. This could be a good job out there in Abroad.

Those are all full time jobs where i am from. I am not even sure who would have time to do them as a side hustle and some of those need serious education. Or at least ton of training.

I was totally excepting "jobs" like:

"Youtube influencer"
"technical analyst for altenative currecies" (shitcoin trader).
"Model" (anyone with onlyfans account)
"Cryptocurrency developer" (rugging with random bsc tokens)
"Digital artist" (someone who uses AI art to sell bunch of 1:1 nfts)
Or "investor" (Anyone who ever bought any cryptocurrencies or NFTs)

That is an unqualified job that you do if you can't do better, that's the difference. Sure, there is a possibility that you could make a living out of it, but there are so many things wrong with that, the wear and tear of the car, the need to buy another, constant repair needs, the fact that you are only capable of making money if you work so if you are sick Uber won't pay you, and many others.

This is why it's better to actually have a career if you can, if you can't then you could do Uber and there is nothing wrong with that, but if you can build a career, in any field, and master it and be great at it then you should definitely be doing that instead of driving Uber, because it will pay better, and it's more comfortable.
