I found this interesting. I own a commercial and residential cleaning business. I agree. Many of the women who have this profession are immigrants. I find in this business, that my biggest advantage is that I am english speaking. It's the one comment I hear over and over again, "I can't communicate well with them". My company hires only those who ARE legal, and can prove it. They also must have their own transportation and a thorough background check is conducted before hire. After all, they ARE working in anothers' home, with valuables, and oftentimes, small children who also live in the home.

Each of the staff signs an independent contractor agreement, and in the memo of each check it says, "1099" which means they are working independently and responsible for reporting and paying their own taxes.

I thought this was a really interesting topic, and I don't see it discussed often. Thanks for sharing!
