Cleaners/Janitors salaries in the US.

“Respect for the forgotten Janitors”

Nearly each day, four million people in the United States go to work as janitors, cleaners, maids, housekeepers and other maintenance workers. Over 3% of the workforce is employed in those jobs, which are among the lowest paid jobs in the country. This small army of workers that many of us don’t see unless we are working in the middle of the night are essential to the well-being of the rest of us.

Just think for a minute, the appearance of the buildings…. the germs….. and bacteria that would thrive if we didn’t have these essential workers.

Just imagine going to the toilet at work we use at least 3 times a day  that had not been cleaned….sobering thought wouldn’t you say. These workers keep us safe from these germs….provide us a clean environment and directly affect the health of the nation by maintaining germ and bacteria levels to an acceptable level.

Pandemic now that is a word to send shivers down everyone spine and the definition of pandemic is an epidemic of infectious disease that has spread through human populations across a large region.

Now think that these people are among the lowest paid workers. Below is a graph of the average salary of janitors in the United States. You see what I mean.

So when going to work this morning spare a thought to the person whom emptied your trash can, cleaned your staff toilet, vacuumed the floor and washed the tiles. If you see a janitor working in your building go up and say ” Thank you ” its a small price to pay to keep you healthy.
