Some of the country’s biggest corporations are finally catching up to Well-Paid Maids.
On May 16, Well-Paid Maids, a living-wage cleaning company here in D.C., raised its starting wages to $22 an hour.
Less than two weeks later, Bank of America and Apple followed suit.
OK, so maybe we’re being a little cheeky. But the fact that Well-Paid Maids raised its starting wages before these billion-dollar companies proves Well-Paid Maids lives by its name.
In fact, let’s do a quick comparison:
- Well-Paid Maids ended 2021 with about 20 employees and did $800,000 in revenue.
- Bank of America has more than 200,000 employees and did nearly $90 billion in revenue in 2021.
- Apple has more than 150,000 employees and did more than $378 billion in revenue in 2021.
Well-Paid Maids doesn’t stop at fair wages, either. It provides employees (not contractors) plenty of benefits, including insurance, 22 paid days off per year, employer-paid commuting costs and more.
Maybe with a little bit of financial planning, big corporations can finally pay their employees fair wages and offer them decent benefits?
In the meantime, if you want to support a company that treats its employees right, support Well-Paid Maids.
