My local area has the opposite problem. With only a $7 difference and often the varsity refs only getting a single game, there are several people who prefer the "easy" and low-key frosh & JV games, plus being home at a reasonable time for dinner to the varsity work. The pay gap isn't enough to make them want to move up.

We agree completely on this. I assign for 22 schools and each school has their stable of officials who have (1) been doing this for years and (2) have no desire to work varsity games. Close to home, early start time.

People think I'm joking when I say I think they should raise the varsity rates and leave the JV rates alone, but I'm completely serious.
