Hourly wage for cleaner...

[Nolan]

Cleaning is a much more professional vocation than teaching English and certainly much harder as well.

Who are you to qualify the difficulty and professionalism involved in these jobs? There are careers in each pursuit, and the difficulty of those careers is apples to oranges -- and entirely circumstantial.

In a simple numbers comparison: the people in this country capable of cleaning versus those capable of teaching English.

 

[John.St]

Starting November 2010, the minimum govt mandated wage for domestic workers is $12.63 per hour plus benefits. ... For full time (8hrs/day, goes home) housekeepers is $1,657.50. For part-time (4 hrs/day) is $828.75.

20 working days/month x 8 hours makes $10.38 per hour (1660/160) - not really a wage to make one rich, even including a free lunch.
