Small businesses have boomed since the start of COVID-19, earning some entrepreneurs six figures. In fact, 33% of the small-business owners who used Gusto said they needed side hustles to keep their companies afloat. "The surge in side hustles is partly caused by new entrepreneurs who need to rely on additional sources of income to cover the businesses that they just started," Pardue said. Some of the most recognizable companies, such as Apple, Twitter, and Facebook, started as side projects and later became multibillion-dollar corporations. Insider spoke with entrepreneurs who earn almost six figures or more about their advice on building side hustles.

☆ Dr. LeRoy Carhart, Fierce Defender of Abortion Rights, Dies at 81

Around 30 states, including Nebraska, outlawed the procedure. It was one that Dr. Carhart said he never used and that he described as “distasteful.” Nevertheless, he believed that the wording of the law was so broad that it could render illegal other types of abortions, and he sued Nebraska’s attorney general, Don Stenberg. Dr. Carhart became the lead plaintiff in two Supreme Court cases. When the George W. Bush administration enacted the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003, Dr. Carhart sued again. The Supreme Court reversed course, however, with the author of the decision, Justice Anthony Kennedy, arguing that the federal law “expresses respect for the dignity of human life.”
