Domestic Servants in Buenos Aires Provoke Frustration
A Good Housekeeping excerpt notes that Buenos Aires households rely on complex staff structures. Cooks earn 15 to 25 dollars, housemaids 12 to 18, and laundresses are scarce, with washing done in the river using stones as boards. Irons are provided by an ironer, causing accountability issues and high costs.
