What are your thoughts of overemployment with one of your jobs compensating you "under the table"?

I have always wondered how the Bureau of Labor Statistics can even make an accurate report if there's a percentage of the workforce that is receiving pay in cash.

That's always been an issue. The cash economy used to be stuff that was unquestionably sketchy, drug deals and whatever. But also car repairs, landscaping, and a lot of other things where a paper trail didn't have to exist. It's always been a difficult question of what percentage of the economy just wasn't being reported.

I've always considered gigs like that to be side gigs, too. Many people do small side jobs under the table, but it's still important to report your income from them if you're making a lot from them.

This isn’t over-employment then, it’s just a side gig. Take your cash and keep your W2

I respectfully disagree. As an example, a person could be a W-2 employee while provided child care at the same time.

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months.

I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs.
