adjunct faculty teaching a full load (2/2) make a very nice wage at my uni (~70k). the problem isn't the wage but the exactly what non-tenure implies: lack of job security.

Does class size matter? i.e. Does the adjunct have to generate (> 100%) funding for their pay?

honestly i'm not sure. the particular adjunct i have in mind teaches one large lecture style class and a smaller (but still larger than topics class size) elective class.
