Most people on LinkedIn have one job – one employer, one role, one calendar to juggle.

Most people on LinkedIn have one job – one employer, one role, one calendar to juggle. But that’s not true for everyone in the hourly sector.

More than 5% of employed Americans are working more than one job. Roughly one in twenty. And that stat has been climbing again since the pandemic. Looking specifically at hourly work, the picture gets even starker. In a 2025 survey of hourly-paid workers, 34% said they rely on more than one job to get by. Not because they’re chasing a hustle-driven ideal, but because one paycheck doesn’t reliably cover the basics, hours can shift week to week, and gaps show up where benefits or steady schedules used to be.

The hardest part isn’t just the extra hours. It’s the logistics of trying to make two schedules (or three or four) fit into one life. A last-minute change isn’t just annoying; it can throw everything off – childcare, rides, the other shift already committed to. It makes stability feel out of reach.

At Ando, we’re building around that reality. Most scheduling tools still assume people have one job and unlimited flexibility, and then everyone is surprised when it falls apart.

We’re building for a different reality.

We’re making a work schedule something people can actually plan around. Fewer last-minute surprises for workers, fewer staffing scrambles for managers, and a calmer day to day for everyone.

But it’s more proactive than that. It’s a work schedule built around people’s personal responsibilities and needs in advance.

Ando is bigger than scheduling software. Hourly work is changing fast. More people are stitching together hours across employers, and time is becoming the thing everyone is trying to manage.

The companies that win will treat workers’ time with the same seriousness they treat costs and operations.
