I think multiple "fulltime jobs" is extremely rare.

Usually when people say they are working 2-3 jobs I believe they mean they get a couple of shifts a week from a couple of different employers.

E.g. 16 hours a week at a coffee shop, 12 hours a week at a restaurant and 2 nights a week as a cleaner.

That would sum up to one full-time job, more or less?

I understood the comment to be angry about some large injustice, I'm not sure whether they were meaning to essentially say "some people have to work for a living, it's outrageous". With (Western) Europe's extremely strong social systems, the number of people who are forced to work multiple jobs because they wouldn't be able to eat otherwise is minuscule, I believe.
