I understand that people will apply for a job whether or not they can fill the position, but perhaps because I've never done this from the hiring side it seems to me that putting a dollar amount wouldn't affect it that much. I'd like to see something along the lines of what is minimum, such as "Starting at $40k or DOE". Maybe I've just been at a few jobs where the pay will be talked about like it's great and competitive, but if I really dig (or watch the UPHPU-jobs listing) I'm getting paid far less than what is out there. I'm also willing to admit these feelings could be part of not wanting to get into another job like the one I have now. On the face it seemed great and it has been, but the longer I work here the more I find people are leaving almost in droves because of pay and how they are being treated.
