Looking for a Minnesota Side Hustle? Here Are the Top-3

In case you haven't noticed, life is continually getting more expensive these days. Everything is taking a bigger bite out of our paychecks -- which don't seem to be getting any larger. This is forcing many Americans to seek out a side hustle or two, to add more money to their game.

I've got a neighbor that mows lawns on the side for extra cash, and a nephew that works on a seasonal pumpkin farm in the evenings for the same reason. My wife has a co-worker that raises chickens and sells the eggs. (That's good money!) She also has a sister that dumpster dives & sell things online, but that's not really a side hustle, it's her main source of income. 😆

side hustle [ sahyd huhs-uhl ] (noun, slang): a job or occupation that brings in extra money beyond one’s regular job and main source of income.

According to recent research, last year side hustles reached an all-time high over the past 20 years.

A 2023 study showed that 39% of U.S. adults have a side hustle, and 33% of those side hustlers say they rely on the extra income to cover regular living expenses.

The number-crunchers at Casinos.com took a look at 24 different money-making terms on Google to see if any state has 'gambling' as their top side hustle this year -- and three did (Nevada, Massachusetts, and New Jersey).

DoorDash, pet sitting, day trading, car detailing, cleaning, tutoring, and completing online surveys are all popular side hustles in America for 2024.
