Spanish term

multiempleo

Spanish to English Social Sciences Medical: Health Care Nursing
"... las politicas de ajuste que se vienen implementando y que se caracterizan por la reduccion del gasto publico, particularmente en los sectores sociales y que afecta el empleo publico en general y el de los enfermeros en particular, asi como sus salarios, promueven el subempleo y multiempleo."

I assume this means working for more than one organisation, but I don't think we would say "multiemployment" would we? Is there a specific word for this in English?

moonlighting

I think "moonlighting" is that word you're looking for in English, having another second job on the side to make ends meet.

It\'s a USA idiom, of course, but very readily understood, at least in the USA.

Gracias, Tom, it's somewhat negative for the USA as well, what it implies is having a hard time making it.
agree JaneTranslates : Absolutely.

Gracias, Jane.
neutral Michele Fauble : Wrong register. // 'Moonlighting' also suggests a second job beside the main job. 'Multiempleo' (multiple job holding) can mean two or more part time jobs.

Even though it's idiomatic, I don't think there is a register problem, especially since it is the most recognizable term available.
