How is it that so many professional jobs are severely underpaid by their employers?

I'm so frustrated with job searching because of how many positions want to lowball on pay. I just don't understand how any company can expect a professional to take a job that you can't afford to live off of. Why is it taking so long for pay to catch up with the cost of living? I see job postings like the one I just turned down an interview for because their non negotiable pay for a personal banker was $42k. That's $42k before you lose pay from taxes/social security/health care/dental/vision/401k/etc. So many job postings want you to have a 4 year degree and experience yet pay under $50k. How
