Outside Johs ONE OUT of every ten State Tax Department employees holds Ml outside job. The precise fraction is a little over 9 percent. Average earnings for outside work are little — $300 to $500 a year. More up- •taters, proportionately, work on part-time job« than NYC em- ployees of the department. This information was elicited from a questionnaire issued by Tax Commissioner George Bragalini to tiie 6,037 of the agency. All iMit 166 replied. Most common jobs held are evening or Saturday positions as •alesclerks. Lots of the men work in shoe stores, girls work in de- partment stores as salespeople or cashiers. Accountants in the de- partment do a brisk business on outside accounting tasks. Some of the lawyers work on briefs for other lawyers, or on cases of their •wn, in their spare time.
