Yeah, it would be nice to say that is an isolated phenomenon, but it
isn't. I interviewed with a company HQ'ed in New Orleans for a
Network Admin position, the SOLE network admin for this company who was
responsible for maintaining more infrastructure than one person should
handle by themselves - the servers, network and desktops/laptops for the
NO office and one or two out of state - and I couldn't get them above
$34,000/yr.

Want to guess how the salary negotiations went when they offered me the
position?

As to the linked job posting, it sounded to me like it was an entry
level position. $13 - $17/hr for entry level IT work is normal, but
that is for desktop support only. The addition of the Windows Server,
Exchange and Terminal Services requirements pushes this out of the realm
of entry level compensation.
