/ I certainly uenarstdnd and appreciate the desire to emphasize realism in the pay scale relative to living wages, especially in uber-expensive communities like mine (Orange County, CA). As someone who has been a casualty of corporate downsizing and layoffs, and facing ongoing challenges in finding ANY job, it's almost laughable to conceive of companies rushing to enhance their compensation, even to meet a viable need. More often than not, I see ads for positions requiring college degrees and several years of experience which would pay $12-$15 an hour. Similarly, in seeking freelance writing work, I find online resources offering to pay pennies per word for professional writing (resulting in an hourly rate of well under $10), and well-qualified, credentialed professionals line up for the opportunity. Regrettably, there are so many applicants even for these wages that employers get away with egregious underpayment based on the unequal supply/demand paradigm. Unfortunately, while responsible businesses SHOULD pay a living wage, they don't seem to be compelled to do so ..THAT's reality.
