In the UK, Queen Elizabeth has advertised for a full-time maid at her Scottish palace. The starting salary is just £12,000 (€14,300) a year.
The job advertisement, which had an application closing date of August 21, insists that enjoying "working as part of a team" is a mandatory requirement for the future housekeeping assistant.
