Housekeeping salary in the US
Most housekeeping ads in the United States pay $28,000 – $35,000 a year before tax, and $40,000 – $55,000 for housekeeping supervisors and managers. Pay varies a lot by state and city, so compare the full package: health insurance, 401(k) match, paid time off and bonus can add 20–30% on top of base pay.
What employers ask for
Most housekeeping job ads in the US ask for attention to detail, pace and weekend availability. The sectors hiring most are hotels, hospitals and senior living, and many openings are in Nevada, Florida, California and New York.
Visa sponsorship and work authorisation
Most US roles require existing work authorisation. Some employers sponsor an H-1B visa, and the ad usually says so: search the description for "sponsorship". See our visa sponsorship jobs for employers that hire from abroad.
