A startling number of young Aussie workers are juggling two full-time jobs to make ends meet and give them enough cash to get onto the property ladder. The country's youngest pool of workers has long been called "lazy", "entitled" and "slackers" by their older counterparts but new figures show how hard they're actually grafting.

Job site Indeed has revealed one in every six Gen Z workers and one in seven Millennials are managing to work around 80 hours a week across two separate jobs. When all other workers are included in the figures, around one in 10 working Aussies are doing two full-time gigs.

Those pulling in the extra hours said the additional salary is vital to keep up with the cost of living and save for a future property.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics recently reported that almost one million Aussies had taken on a second job. The trend has been coined as "overemployed" and comes in many different forms.

She's one of many who are squeezing in as much work time as possible across the seven days of the week without any overlap.

They might do a regular nine-to-five and then a night shift somewhere else that could rack up dozens of hours a week.

If you thought that was impressive...

The hustlers are the ones who have managed to get two full-time jobs that are running on the same day and roughly with the same hours.

Indeed said 93 per cent of white-collar workers with multiple full-time jobs do their side gig on their primary employer’s time, with 65 per cent doing it regularly.

While they will be able to enjoy a much healthier salary, it's not without its downsides.

"It's concerning to see so many workers borrowing time from primary employers to manage second jobs, as this is very obviously going to have a significant effect on business performance and workplace dynamics," Sally McKibbin, a career expert at Indeed, said.

She said young Aussies are feeling pressured to take on extra hours because "living costs and property prices continue to outpace earnings".
