In Victorian times, a housemaid typically earned between £10 to £30 a year, depending on their experience, location, and the wealth of the household. This wage was often supplemented with room and board, but it was still considered low, reflecting the limited economic opportunities for women at the time. Additionally, housemaids often worked long hours with few days off, making their overall compensation quite modest.

During the Victorian era, chimney sweeps were typically paid very low wages, often around one shilling per day, which was insufficient to support a family. Many young boys were employed in this dangerous and grueling work, sometimes leading to exploitation and harsh conditions. The wages varied depending on the region and the employer, but the overall pay was generally meager, reflecting the poor labor conditions of the time.
