There are tons of people out there who are willing to work for less just to have employment. Ask for more and back it up with past performance and follow through with it. In my experience, it will demand more attention than groveling for a chance. I ended up with 20% raise after my layoff last fall.

Bust your ass and there are always people willing to pay you for your services.

Best of luck, Brother!
