Sylvia Fuller, a UBC sociology professor, spoke to Metro News about a Craigslist listing for a personal assistant that is raising questions about societal inequality.
The ad stated that the job, which includes packing lunches and washing vegetables, is not for creative people who like variety. The authors of the listing also claimed the job is an internship and indicated the couple is looking for a millennial.
“They’re not calling it a personal servant but that is what they’re asking for,” Fuller said. “Its not surprising that you start to see more of this kind of arrangement because there are people who can afford it and there are folks who don’t have any other options.”
