Americans are starting 2016 with more job security, but most are still theoretically only one paycheck away from the street.
Approximately 63% of Americans have no emergency savings for things such as a $1,000 emergency room visit or a $500 car repair, according to a survey released Wednesday of 1,000 adults by personal finance website Bankrate.com, up slightly from 62% last year. Faced with an emergency, they say they would raise the money by reducing spending elsewhere (23%), borrowing from family and/or friends (15%) or using credit cards to bridge the gap (15%).

A recycled paper inspection at a nearby landfill can pay about $70. This was told to me by an inspector in the northeast. His task was to verify that the recycled paper was loaded aboard a trailer and that the trailer only contained the recycled paper. It was an easy $70. The recycled paper was going overseas to Africa.
A business verification can pay about $35 for a 10-minute on-site inspection.
Think about performing some part-time field service inspections to make some extra money.
