I am not sure I would go directly to exploitation. Though I would say they are trying to take advantage slightly. All the requirements are 1-3 years. I would assume there is already in place a full admin, so this person would likely be a Jr cabling/desktop monkey. Here in Denver that job would go for 40-45k a year and our tech job market is much stronger than yours. I lost my job the last day of September last year and started my job search Oct 1... started a new job Nov 15th, and I was not the first to find one... but that is Denver. Phoenix is a much tougher nut. So while the rates are low, and probably not very realistic, I think exploitation is a bit strong. I bet they find some nice kid 20-22 years old in the $15-$18 range.
