[quote=Anonymous]It was unusual to have a live in housekeeper by the 1970s if you were only upper middle class. It did happen but it was not common. You have to go back to the 1950s, and especially before WWII before live-ins were common. Even in the 1970s Mr. Brady would have to be a very, very, very successful architect to afford a full time housekeeper while still supporting a large family. More common would be a weekly cleaner. Most of the "Alices" of the 1970s would have been AAs, or maybe Latino in California/Texas. Their white versions wouldn't have had much difficulty finding basic office jobs. [/quote]
