By talking to you here and reading what you believe.  You seem to think
that 
someone starting should have to work up to a living wage, not start at one

and work up to a comfortable living.

And that's probably another problem because when I was looking for work,
it 
seemed that the ones not putting a salary range in job posting usually
were 
on the low side.  Not all of the time, but most of it.

IOW, get them in for the lowest cost possible.  The fact is Miles that
there 
are many people out there but they want or need more than people like you 
are willing to pay them.  What is your general salary range for the 
positions you are looking to fill Miles?

It was.  Not so much now and fast growth is a major negative where you
live. 
Either way, Phoenix is a somewhat expensive area to live in and that
climate 
pulls in a very specific type of person and maybe not the type of people 
that you need or ones willing to work there for the salary you are
offering. 
I'll tell you what Miles, if you are uncomfortable listing salary ranges 
here, tell me what kind of lifestyle could a married employee with 2 kids 
living in the Phoenix area talking one of these jobs that you are offering

have on the low end of the benefits package you are offering.  What about 
the high end?
