They only need to pay all that if they're a 1099 employee (a
subcontractor).  If they're a W-2 employee of the contracting company,
they don't need to pay all their taxes and most contracting companies
offer benefits.  In which case the pay is low, but not horribly so.  For a
1099 job, it sucks.  For a W-2 job, it only sorta sucks.
