Yeah, that adds important context... and makes it worse.
He's actually offering $30/hr and topping out at $40/hr. When the paragraph I quoted indicates that tha top rate should be about $50/hr.
Either way, it's another case of an employer complaining that the labour pool market is wrong.
Even with the normal expectations and earning possibilities etc.
If you've been advertising a job at a certain rate and nobody has applied, then either the location, conditions or pay are not meeting the market. You can't change the location for a business like this, so you have to change the conditions and/or pay. ie, the true hourly rate for any given job is what you can hire someone to do it for.
Exactly. That's how a free market works.
