[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most in home housekeepers and staff have their own place and come to the jobsite to work just like you and I.[/quote] Ok, but when did this change?[/quote] After World War II like the other poster said. During World War II servants left their in home servant jobs to work factory jobs for the war effort. They never returned to being in home servants. This is true in the US and in also in Europe.[/quote] This is what happened to my father’s household. After the war servants were much more expensive. My grandmother was not thrilled about having to raise 5 kids with reduced help. My eyes are rolling too.[/quote] This. With men away at war, women without college degrees were offered jobs in factories, shipyards, agriculture, and even offices that were not previously available to them. These jobs paid much better than domestic work and many stayed after the war.[/quote]
