- beerandt 5y agoDepends on training, licensing, and liability costs. Which vary wildly between countries.
- paxys 5y agoYou'll still need to give them a car to drive.
- freddie_mercury 5y agoExactly. Everyone I know here with a driver owns the car themselves and hires the driver separately. I don't know driver salaries since I don't have one but I'm guessing they are similar to nanny salaries since they are usually full-time 8am-8pm, 6-days a week kind of jobs. The only people without their own car tend to be foreign executives who are only going to be here on a 2-3 year contract.
- ineedasername 5y agoDriver salaries would likely have been much higher because the position wouldn't also cover room & board. Also the gender differences in pay would influence things as well. Last is that household cleaning etc. would have been considered lower skilled labor. This document indicates that somewhere around $20-$30 per week may have been the wage, around page 128. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org/files/docs/publications/bls/bls_0286_1921.pdf https://fraser.stlouisfed.org/files/docs/publications/bls/bl...
