'Io lavoro ai miei due lavori da un anno or\u00e0' emphasizes that you are still working on your two jobs, and you have been doing so for one year now. 'Io ho lavorato ai miei due lavori per un anno' implies you worked on your two jobs for a year, but you might not be working on them anymore. So, the first sentence implies continuity, while the second one doesn't necessarily imply that."}]
