Cities Report Shortage Of Capable Domestic Help By GAY PAULEY United Press Women's Editor New York OP) The wom an looking for a capable, full time maid may find her if the domestic gets her own room and bath, a television set, air-conditioning and regu lar hours. For today's household help er can just about write her own employment ticket in most sections of the country, despite all the labor-saving devices supposed to eliminate the need for servants. ' A United Press spotcheck of major cities showed gen eral shortage of capable do mestics. Only Dallas and San Francisco reported a surplus. In San Francisco, the surplus was in the domestic who wanted to "live out." But the numoer of domes tics has increased rapidly in tne post-war years, says the U.S. Labor Department. It said there now are 2,328,000 full and part-time workers. compared with 1,922,000 in 1952 and 1,714,000 in 1947. Agencies give two major reasons why householders' ap plications go unfilled, even with the increase. More Families Seeking Help More families can afford and are hiring part-time as sistance. And the increase isn't enough, because workers who at one time may have taken domestic jobs have found better pay in factory, office or store. "I've at least 1,000 unfilled applications, some of them on file for six months," said An thony Wagner, president of a New York agency. "There's a big demand for European labor. Some housewives even offer to pay the fare over for a prospect." "Housewives are begging for help," reported - the Miami branch of the Florida State Employment agency. "Today s domestic has be come a specialis t, said Jacques Taylor, whose firm hires servants on a regular 50-week a year basis, and then assigns them as job applica tions come in. "What's become of the maid-of-all-work? She's drawing social security, that's what." "Most maids don't want to keep children," reported an agency m ruasnvme. Ana they don't want to cook if they have to clean, and don't want to clean if they have to cook." New York agencies said the specialist most in demand is the housekeeper, and certain ly the "housekeeper wanted" ads are plentiful in the classi fieds. One suburban New York housewife looking for a house keeper advertised, ". . . . pleasant, congenial family : . . new, air - conditioned ranch house, own room, bath, TV, other help." Agencies said most domes tics no longer want to "live in.' Smaller homes of today provide less privacy, and they like the idea of regular hours. In some areas this, means the householder adjusts her sched ule to the domestic's. But not so in Chicago and Hartford. The day that happens, we'll be out of business," said a Klalt Miss Carolyn Hillyer, Miss Beverly Beach, Miss Janet Bohl; (front row, left to right) Miss Gaye Daniel, Miss Susan Hubbard and Miss Janet Ward. Guests at the dinner noted that Miss Zundel is the only blonde of the group and that she wears her hair longer than the other contestants. Chicago agency. Salaries vary from city to city, but the average paid the maid who lives out runs from $1 to $1.75 an hour, plus lunch and carfare. A house keeper will earn from $50 a week on up, with meals and rooms included. And Wag ner's agency said a couple tak ing jobs as butler and house keeper in the East will earn from $450 to $700 a month. Mrs. Harriet Buell, an in terviewer for the California State Department of Employ ment, said she could recall when good help was even scarcer than today. She told of one young Irish-born girl who would stare into space as she listened to Mrs. Buell describe a job. "It finally got jne," said Mrs. Buell. "I asked her, 'do you want the position or not?' " The girl answered, "I have to find out if the spirit moves me." Said Mrs. Buell, "usually it did not."
