People who clean motels in this area are lucky to make $6 an hour with no benefits. That must be a rare part of the country your friend lives in where cleaning ladies can make that much money and yet the houses are that affordable. In this region now one third of the jobs pay minimum wage or less, one third pay between minimum and $10 an hour and only one third pay more than $10 an hour ---wages have been dropping for many people in the recent years.

Im not sure what specific about the original post it was but I got the impression that maybe this friend started her own cleaning business.
