2009 will be a very challenging year after the big financial crisis. The unemployment rates will increase drastically. Many companies have sent their employees for an extended holiday during the Christmas Holiday season. Employees worry about their jobs, many have already lost it. More than one income source will be needed to provide for a secure and regular cash flow.

Getting more than one job

Only public servants can afford to work on one single job. It is, however, recommendable to seek for more than one employment. Employees should not rely on the fate of an employer. It could be wise to work part time for different employers and thus to diversify the sources of income. If one employer cuts the jobs and dismisses staff, an employee will be lucky to have an alternative employer at hand. It secures at least a moderate income source during the worst time.
