Coding for $15 an hour?
By
Could a computer coding job paying just $15 per hour signal something’s wrong with the tech world? If so, then something is wrong as coders are now going for well under $20 an hour all across America.
That relatively measly amount is what’s promised in an ad for a “ASP.NET Programmer” on the America’s Job Bank site. The job, which calls for “at least 1 year’s experience either in school, at work, or a combination of the two,” is being offered by employment services company AppleOne, according to the ad.
$15 per hour for a computer programmer makes the position fall below the 10th percentile for the programming occupation both nationally and in California, where the job is said to be located. It’s less than what some security guards make.
