For a Jr position, yea I would say that is a little low to about par. 
There is some real talent in the market place today, especially if you 
don't need them "in the office". I've seen some of the PHP developers 
(those with commit privs) doing work for $40/hr. If they can do the 
work of a Jr person in half the time (and probably better quality work) 
I'm willing to pay the extra $10 for that kind of talent.
