New research by Aviva has found that the majority of people who started a ‘side hustle’ during the coronavirus pandemic are still keeping them up.
Nearly a fifth (19%) of the 2,000 people across the UK polled by the insurance provider said they had taken up a side venture at some point since March 2020 and 63 per cent are continuing to pursue them.
Selling handcrafted products was the most popular activity chosen, followed by freelancing. Some had dabbled in art, photography and driving a taxi, while others had tried their hand at being a social media influencer, which was particularly popular among people aged 16 to 24.
