As someone who has taught at a college part-time for very little money, I don't feel exploited. If I didn't like the deal, I wouldn't have done it. In my case, I wanted the experience and I had some fun; I later turned down a full time teaching job because it didn't pay well enough. The point is, that we are talking about people who should have sufficient education and experience to be able to find a job at a competitive wage. We are also talking about people who, in general, are able to relocate if there are better opportunities elsewhere.

You're in a little different kind of profession. Ask a English teacher, art teacher, sociology teacher etc. In Colorado the part time teachers would earn $18k per year teaching the same load as a full time teacher.
There are plenty of jobs available but the managerial class fill the positions with labor to which they have no obligation and to whom few labor laws apply.
It's a national problem.
