Household Employment

Household employment refers to jobs where individuals work directly for a household, providing personal services such as cleaning, cooking, childcare, gardening, or caregiving. These workers are hired by private households rather than companies, and their employment is typically documented for payroll and tax purposes. Household employment helps families with domestic tasks and care needs, while also contributing to economic data that reflect the size and scope of this sector. It’s an important part of the broader labor market, highlighting the workforce supporting personal and family needs outside traditional workplaces.
