There are areas in the US where highly skilled workers don't earn that much.
When I worked, the company had a 'step' system of pay.

You started at a set salary, and after three months you got a raise. then the raises were given each year after.


-----------------

Along the way, the company decided to hire people in at a two-three year level.

The people who had put in the hours to get to their current wage rate were really ticked off.

Imagine being an employee that worked their way to a 15 dollar/hour wage - let's say they worked 4 years to get to that level - and then someone walks into the company and get paid just as much as you?

It makes for an interesting work place?
