In Estonia, secondary jobs have become slightly more common among
women. Women have two workplaces more often than men do. In Latvia,
men's secondary jobs have definitely become less usual; and the women's, for
their part, have increased. The changes in Lithuania have been great: for both
the men and the women, working in a secondary job is now almost twice as
common as it was three years earlier. The proportion of secondary jobs in
Lithuania has at the same time risen to the Latvian and Estonian level.
