Housekeepers make $150K a year in these Florida cities — here’s why salaries have skyrocketed
NY Post
Cleaners in South Florida are sweeping up the cash.
Housekeepers in South Florida are making about $150,000 a year as the influx of new, rich residents has created bidding wars for high-end cleaners, staffing companies told NBC News.
“I have been placing staff for 30 years, and I’ve never seen anything like this,” said April Berube, founder of the Wellington Agency, which places household staff in the Sunshine State, New York and other locations.
“We’ve seen such a boom from people relocating, especially Palm Beach and Miami.”
In recent years, Florida has been flooded with new residents from New York and other high-tax states rushing to take advantage of the state having no individual income tax.
More than 91,000 New Yorkers left the Empire State in 2022 alone to relocate to Florida, according to Census Bureau data.
