Other than wage increases, there are few advancement opportunities for maids—especially in households with only a few workers. The turnover rate for housekeepers is low (given the position’s more lucrative compensation and higher level of prestige), so few maids have the opportunity to advance to this position. Maids may choose to leave household service to pursue similar positions at hotels and other businesses. These employers typically offer higher salaries and more fringe benefits than do private employers.
