Ahhh if only I could pay $6.00 an hour.  Right now the starting salary is
$5.70 for lab attendants, the senior lab attendant salary is $6.30 and the
student manager position pays $8.00.  Believe it or not I also have student
programers who are accepting $8.00 an hour!!!  How did I get so lucky??
For the same reasons  Read Gilgen gives... and believe it or not 99.9% stay
until they graduate, and this year I have 3 returning who will be in
graduate school.  For us it's all about environment and the reputation
we've built up over the years as a good place to work on campus.  Word does
get around and normally I receive over one hundred applicants to fill 5 or
6 open positions.  Our lab staff ranges from 15-25 students depending on
projects and the number of hours students can work in any given semester ..
they staff 196 hours a week.  Perhaps the data you collect could be used by
the rest of us to negotiate higher salaries.
