As another commenter is saying, though, there's a big difference between what most companies pay and what are the visible offers in the market.
Offers at or above the average rate appear, get filled, and disappear. Unrealistic offers below the market rate stay "on marked" for a long, long time - so if you're looking at "what's on offer today" you're seeing a very different list of numbers from the actual prices at which deals are getting closed.
It's same as in stock market - the 'market price' is the average of closed deals, but the visible company job offers is the equivalent of outstanding 'ASK' bids which are not really representative of market price.
