The QLFS shows that the number of domestic workers in the country increased from 745,000 in Q2 2020, to 892,000 workers in Q2 2021.

This annual increase of 147,000 domestic worker jobs was larger than almost any other segment over the past year, surpassing technicians (106,000), craft and related trades (78,000), plant and machine operators (25,000) and sales and services (20,000) occupations, StatsSA said.
