A lot of them are also tied to local union wages. I had a roomate who worked for his dad as an electrician's helper, his dad paid him $8 an hour, which was good when minimum wage was $3.35. They got a contract for a couple months working for the LA Department of water and power and my friend's pay jumped to $20 an hour. He did the smart thing and spent the extra money on coke.
