Our panel of housekeeping aide experts
Lizzette Rodriguez Ph.D.
University of Puerto Rico
Are there any particularly good places in the United States for Housekeeping Aides to find work opportunities?
Lizzette Rodriguez Ph.D.: In terms of finding work after graduation, my opinion is that it changes a lot. A few years ago I would have said that Texas was the place to go find work and we have several recent graduates that are in the oil industry. However, the oil industry has suffered a lot and some of our graduates have lost their jobs because of that. At the other hand, we also have graduates working in different offices of the USGS and the EPA, in different states, as well as FEMA.
