Student Name: Eshrak Tasfia, Student ID: 4106390

The rising cost of living and broader economic pressures are driving an increasing number of Australians to take on multiple jobs to make ends meet. This dashboard explores trends in multiple job holding across different demographic groups, using data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2025).

Note: The original ABS data was provided in Excel format. For this dashboard, relevant data from Table 2.1 and Table 2.2 was extracted, cleaned, and saved as a CSV file for ease of analysis in RStudio.
