They don't give the context. Maybe that's $100/hr w2 for the end contractor after the "Cobol Cowboys" company takes their cut.

Also, it's Dallas, where cost of living is great. 2300 sq ft houses on decent lots in good school districts for $250k.

(Tangent: The Dallas of >3 years ago had a good CoL. Everything has gone up $100k+ since and it's still going... Those same houses are 400k now. And new homes have tiny lots.)
