That ad nailed the problem.
Young, hard-working men with 2-3 years experience should be able to support a family. (Not rich, just enough to handle a small home, wife, and a baby)
I can see starting them out at $16/hr for a three month training period. (This way you aren’t stuck with someone who doesn’t have what you thought they had or who washes out after two weeks)
But, then you raise it to something reasonable (with benefits) and you put that in the ad.
