I believe the overemployment trend was developed from a combination of C-19, the quiet quitting trend & inflation. This led to remote work, which increased efficiency.

Advantages: financial security, automated tasks & overlapping benefits. Disadvantages: bigger workload, lack of promotions, or termination.

Have I missed anything?

I think you've got the causes pretty much nailed. The only thing I'd add is the seemingly growing trend of outsourcing. In marketing, it feels like a lot of companies are eliminating full time roles and choosing to contract out specific tasks.

Agreed! In the name of Company budget cuts, outsourcing appears to be in their favor, and the employees are the ones who suffer.

The first rule of overemployment is dont talk about overemployment to anyone outside your house. :). Second: always protect the main job. Third: As the main job always has the priority, the Second and third jobs must preferably be contract gigs with not too many meetings everyday. Remember: another day, another dollar.
