So what are your competitors up to in this area? Most will be like you and quoting sensible prices and whether you get the work or not depends upon many other factors including an element of being in the right place at the right time. However some cleaning companies use unethical means in order to secure contracts which should be avoided at all costs. Some will base their quotes for example on using 20 cleaners to perform the task and their quote will in theory show them to be quoting so low they make a loss. However when it comes to the clean they only put in 15 cleaners who will be expected to do the work of 20. Now the company is able to turn a profit on the clean. The second method is illegal and dangerous and that is to employ the illegal immigrants that flood into the cities. They are a cheap source of labour until you are …show more content…

Thus, while the projects included copious facilities for their residents to use, the tenements solely featured dirty living spaces and the occasional shop. Additionally, projects adhered to stricter standards of cleanliness which made the projects more sanitary than the tenements. Project rules required tenants sweep the floors and clean their rooms, subject to occasional inspections (Riis 16). Combined with the controlled populations of the projects, this resulted in few outbreaks of disease, at least none of which

  • Why Americans Won T Do Dirty Jobs Analysis

    616 Words  | 3 Pages

    America is at an impasse with itself over the current unemployment rate and questions about where all the jobs are going. According to Elizabeth Dwoskin, most of these job positions, considered dirty, are being filled by immigrants and not Americans. Americans have found themselves in an uproar about migrant workers taking jobs away from them, but it seems they are hypocritical as they refuse to fill these jobs themselves. In her article “Why Americans Won 't Do Dirty Jobs,” Dwoskin implies that Americans are too lazy to do hard work but complain when immigrants fill these positions. It seems that even when Americans are faced with the threat of homelessness they claim they cannot find any jobs, or rather, they refuse to do the dirty ones.

At the same time, this price point positions the product outside of the price range of its competitors’ cordless vacuum—which have significantly lower retail prices.
