There's a common economic fallacy that prices have anything to do with the cost of production, but the only relationship is that if the price people are willing to pay for a product is less than the cost, that item simply doesn't get made and sold.
When you have companies attempting to produce goods that cannot be profitably produced, below market wages are a common earmark. Whatever widget the company is selling only has a market at $X, but has a cost under current market conditions of $2X, so they are trying to pay people half market salary to bring the two numbers together.
