While some people are narrowly focussed into one thing -- like "put bolt on wheel" and unlike G.M. don't earn $23 per hour + to do that. I was rather writing about people who can do seventeen jobs and qualified to do with well. Those persons should earn more, because of (training, experience, skill) regardless whether they are used to their potential as they generally are not.
The bonus structure, if mishandled like communist socialism, where one person works like a horse ++ gaining nothing from another person doing little, would be wasteful. Rather, persons should be eligible for bonuses as well as the management acknowledging people with more than an attaboy or token "good work today". Management only may receive bonuses -- okay, that's fine. I also don't agree if bonuses are slanted to cut labor (at any possible expense) including salary caps for talented people who, by age, are not eligible for management training, or who are skilled in many different positions making them very versatile. Now, I agree with salary caps, but declination of raises period for those persons is bad management. After a while, I would not care if I got fired if I felt I hit a wall on salary and position ... making the same as a person who could do just one thing.
To simplify things, the bonus structure is fine, but the application of much of it is poorly applied and management relying on those bonuses should be re-trained on the utility of personnel as well as the value of persons working "for" them. This is especially true of middle management who use people and I chose the word "use" specifically. The middle managers are not only to blame if they are not responsible for offering/doing raises.
+ with benefits included to add up to around $23 per hour

Then they need to get their aaaaaaaaaass out of that entry-level position. I don't doubt that a teenager with average intelligence could master the job before they are eligible to apply for a management position. But, they have to pay their dues like everyone does. If they had money they'd just blow it on bubble-gum and comic books anyway.
