Company offers £4,400 a month to inexperienced workers, but it's hard to find takers.

The manager of a cleaning company says that they had to raise salaries because no one wants the job.

Joy Vess, of Absolute Domestics based in Sydney, Australia, said her company had raised the hourly rate to $45 (AUD), just over £25.

Starting salaries are now around $93,000 (£52,500), meaning cleaners could now earn up to £4,400 a month.

Joy said, "I see it making a difference now…the contestants are just thrilled.

"Since mid 2021 I haven't been able to get enough cleaners to maintain the business, in some areas I don't market at all - Bondi, Manly, I don't advertise at all because that I can't get cleaners there.

"Nine months ago I raised the hourly rate to $35 and that didn't fix the problem. Three weeks ago I raised it to $45 an hour."

But despite salary increases, Joy still struggles to find employees, says

This comes after The Mirror reported that half of employees feel frustrated at having 'nowhere to go' in their current workplace because there are so few opportunities for advancement.
