Many applications, especially for entry level work (not management) are very generic and don't differ a lot. Federal and state laws have caused some to drop the age and marriage question and they can no longer ask certain heath questions anymore. The pay rate is one of these generic questions that the employer may not even pay attention to when they look at applications.
Some employers only consider a steady work history, others look at length of time you were employed or why you left the company.
Lets say for example you made $12/hour at your last employment..... They may feel you wouldnt be a good candidate for their company if they are only paying $10/hour since they feel that even if you take the job you will not be satisfied and won't stay long.
Others like to look at pay raises thinking that they may be based on performance. I worked at a company for 3 years and only received a 56 cent raise the entire time I was there. But it was a company that had a bad reputation for giving raises and no one ever got much. Also had about an 80 percent turnover.

To know what you made starting pay and ending pay. It shows if you received good raises for good work. It let's them know if they can pay what you were used to making.
Example; Company I worked for went under and everyone was laid off. I applied for this job and was well qualified, and it was an easy place to work. The man told me in the interview; "You were making more than we can start you, is that a problem"? I said no and got the job, which was good pay, as I not work as hard. Hope you understand.
