$26.5 K a year in a state with a fairly high cost of living.

She'd be taking a $2400/yr pay cut to take that job, and that's for someone with presumably no job skills. Now try and find a GOOD worker & tell them they're worth $2400 a year less than some welfare mooch. That's the reason they can't fill the job.
