Most uni students have part-time jobs

Recent research has found that the majority of full-time students also have jobs for the first time as the cost-of-living becomes their biggest concern. The number in paid employment has increased in one year from 45% to 55%, while students are also working longer hours on coursework. In 2021 the number was only 34%. Significantly, students with jobs were less likely to say they would choose the same university and course again.
