About Moonlighting 

  • Moonlighting is the act of working at an extra job beyond regular working hours, usually without the knowledge of the employer. 
  • Since the side job was mostly at nighttime or on weekends, it was referred to as moonlighting. 
  • The term gained popularity when workers in the US started seeking a second job beyond their regular 9-to-5 work for additional income.
