English term or phrase: domestic services
Mi sono bloccata su quetsa espressione perché nella mia frase potrebbe voler dire sia *servizi interni* sia *servizi domestici* (cioè cura della casa). Chiedo la vostra sensazione.
-Job churning is a regular feature of the American employment market, but what worries some economists is that most of the new jobs are in *domestic services* and low-paying work. The British white-collar science and engineering union ** warned that, unless action was taken to stem the tide of outsourcing, the UK could be left as a nation of "fat cats and hairdressers, with nothing in between".

è assodato che domestic significa sia "interno", come sinonimo di "nazionale", sia "della casa". Mi avete aiutata a riflettere che qui di "servizi domestici" si tratta, anche perché subito dopo l'autore fa una battuta su "fat cats and hairdressers".

agree  Giuseppina Vecchia: Quello che si evidenzia qui è il fatto che l'aumento di posti di lavoro riguarda settori meno qualificati, come quello dei servizi domestici e alla persona, visto che il nuovo outsourcing trasferisce all'estero i lavori di più alto profilo.
