With moonlighting gaining traction in the country, most employees (81 per cent) interviewed said they do not wish to indulge in it and feel that it is unethical, according to a report.

Less than one out of five employees (19 per cent) surveyed wants to moonlight while a majority of the workforce (81 per cent) said they do not wish to take up another job alongside their current work and cited it as unethical, according to global site Indeed’s quarterly hiring tracker.
