First, if you're paying in comparison to those charts, in the SF area you aren't paying anywhere near well enough. Good devs with 5+ years of solid experience go for $100K+.

Second, this exact point has been discussed between you and patio11 before. If you think you're paying excellent wages -- 10% to 15% above market -- and still having trouble hiring, then I'd like to repeat patio11's suggestion that you are mistaken about either the wages of the quality of the job you're offering.
