The number of those with multiple jobs represents 0.08% of the approximately 1.8 million citizens employed, according to the Social Security registers.

Every year the DGII reports the ceiling for non-taxable wages. Those receiving more than that income, notwithstanding working for an organized business, need to report on the total sum.
