Mexico amends its constitution to cut the maximum workweek from 48 to 40 hours by 2030 and gives 13.5 million workers the legal right to ignore their boss's
This answers the question I had, about what happens if a worker does in fact work longer than that.
Employees can work overtime during the workweek, but no more than 12 hours total, with a maximum of four hours on any given day and no more than four overtime days per week.
I wonder what the rules are around having a second job?
In most countries a second job is just not really allowed without your primary employer’s approval. Which they are very unlikely to give. It’s more a US thing for people who have problems making ends meet.
If you are a educated professional, then companies get pissy about how your second job might interfere with your primary work and erode some competitive advantage.
If you are working hours in a fast food place, they don’t give a shit unless you fail to cover your shifts and never are available to pick up a shift for someone who can’t cover theirs.

It depends on the nature of the job.

Many countries, sure. It would not be true for most countries. Not to mention freelance work, consulting gigs, or general self employment on the side.
How common it is may be different than whether or not it is allowed.
The rules are as long as the schedules don’t overlap, you can get as many jobs as you like, really. The overtime thing is per job, not in total.
