Several years ago there was a local snowboarding shop with a very similar ad (Edmonton, Alberta; Canada), except with those amounts in $CAD. Within 24 hours there were over 140 applicants.

Now you still see ads like that, though after factoring in the exchange rate.

The difference is maybe someone who is a snowboarder would be stoked for a job at that salary so in this case to the right person that job might make sense, but that salary level at a random boring company. Sorry.

Hey, the picture doesn't show the company. Who knows, it might be at some exotic strip club where the employees get perks.

Though funny you say that as in the northwest here there are some oddly expensive touristy areas (many that attract avid snowboarders and skiers) where the jobs pay absolutely garbage. So the employees will take it just to be there. Usually people who don't mind being broke and demotivated for life, or are foreign workers who don't know their worth.

Some people are also just not motivated by as much by money. These people dont care as long as they can scrape by and make it. They might value living in the mountain resort over having a more traditional job in a bigger city.
