The hourly rate you need to afford a two-bedroom apartment in every state

If you pass with a certain grade on this test, you are offered $14.75 per hour to work there. If you didn't pass, you were offered $8.50 per hour to work there. I know of not one single person who didn't pass that stuck around to make the $1.75 over minimum wage. They went to a different Co-Op which would offer more than the $8.50 an hour. 

You still are not getting my point.  The people making $14.75 an hour were not doing the same work as the people making $8.50 an hour.

If you passed the test you would have taken taken the job even if you could have made the same money at McDonalds because the co-op position offered you a valuable learning experience.
