Why is it normal for Americans to have more than one job?

It's not that normal, I only know one guy with 2 jobs but he currently has 4 fucking kids in college and the cheapest tuition out of the 4 is like $60,000 a year.

It's not.

It is normal for younger Americans just starting out that need cash to have more than one job because of minimum wage and mandatory OT laws.

My country has a fraction of the income the USA has, and somehow, just somehow... Nearly 90% of the population get by on ONE job, even the ones working 50-75% at times(they live in no state of luxury what so ever, but they can afford to live).

Here you are crazy to work two jobs unless its two 50% or less, there are some with a week job at 50% and a weekend job at 25% for example. But you never work over 100% unless you want to, 100% is 38-48 hours a week depending on profession.

Also since the government covers most healthcare costs, not all of them, but the large bulk of it, companies dont have to care about such trivial nonsense.
We have a 30% tax rate and that covers all of our needs, there are some who claim otherwise, but they are the type that will always complain.

Hell even getting a job at McDonalds here is seen as a good thing due to how profitable it is and the fact that its fairly stimulating. We have jobs that basically pay people for sitting around since they are on call, but 80% of the time nothing happens, so they just wait in case they're needed.

USA has heavily inflated numbers regarding employment, anyone working a job that cannot sustain their living, might as well be unemployed.

Americans life to work, other people work to life.

Learn to meme. That's a joke about germans.

Also I'd love a citation. Obama did really help lower full timers in to more than one part time. ACA being a huge part of this.

I work my side gig because frankly, I'm greedy and want to kick off the rat race sooner. 100% it plus a chunk of my 9-5 get invested.

It's not. Only people who have chosen part-time jobs like bartending have 2 gigs
