Compared to $0.00 an hour, $2.50 sounds pretty good.  It also looks better
in terms of job experience.  When a job opens up at $3.50 an hour, who has 
the better shot at it?  The guy who has been getting $2.50, or the guy who 
has been getting $0.00?  If no applicants can be found who have work
experience, the $3.50 job may never be filled.
