It's more than one job at the same time, during the measured period of time.

The BLS routinely polls for why as well. Typically it's about 1/3 say it's to earn more money, 1/3 say it's specifically to deal with debt, and ~15% will say it's for enjoyment (they like the second job).

Multi-job holding peaked (all-time high) in 1995 at around 6.8%.
