I thought Federal minimum was above that now...

My guess would be typo, probably $15.50 or something like that.

It might be, I figured it wasn't if they're offering this job.

Don't think so. Minimum wage in NYS is like 5.35, IIRC.

It's 6.75 here in Oregon now, isn't it?

I got offered $7.50/Hr for web development, HTML, Javascript, Perl, PHP and MySQL.

So this is probably not a misprint.
