Is it typical to find completely unacceptable pay on your site? Listings that have requirement for engineers which could pull home 200-300k a year wanting to pay $15 an hour. I guess this is why "nobody wants to work anymore"

One listing (company name omitted to protect the witness):

Requirements BS/MS in Computer Science Strong in Data Structure/Algorithms, can solve intermediate-level Leetcode questions with ease Experience in conducting technical interviews and well-trained on how to grade candidate performance Passion for mentorship!

Nice To Have Have the flexibility to work 10-20+ hours per week when business needs warrant Have prior start-up experience Compete in Leetcode contests weekly and rank top 2000. Previous experience competing in ACM contests.

What's In it for you 100% remote work (1099 basis) Flexible work hours Opportunity to network and build connections with aspiring and established designers Compensation: $15/hr

There's no way that gets filled right? That's completely divorced from reality lol.

Maybe it’s a typo? They are missing a zero there ;)

Where I live, even Walmart can't get people to show up for less than $15 an hour (even though we have no separate minimum wage than the national $7.25/hr).

The KFC across the street from the Walmart was recently advertising $17/hr.

$15/hr for that kind of tech experience would never fly here!

Most companies originally had a 5 day week, but dropped to 4 days without effecting salaries

So typically the salaries are "market rate". Difficult to say for sure though as most companies still don't disclose this

As for the job you mentioned, I know which company this is and its for a part-time job (i.e. not a 4 day week for 100% salary)

Speaking honestly, I added the part time jobs are added to "bolster" content (given there are so few 4 day week jobs atm). I'd recommend focusing on the jobs marked as "4 day week", they are typically "higher quality"
