Last time I did a wide job search I had offers ranging from $25 to $150 / hour.

I still can't figure out how the hell the company offering $25 / hour thought they could get anyone hired.

That's $52k per year, which is comfortably middle to upper-middle class in much of America. If that was in the Bay or NYC then it's low, but if it was in Omaha or Des Moines it's a good salary for an entry level dev.
