Frankly it isn't surprising that we're even paying attention to something like this. How many businesses are handing out big bonuses, salary increases, and raises? I can't imagine many businesses are, as they're doing their best to keep the penny pinching going on during a down economy. Unpaid internships are just another business decision that you can more easily get away with today since the competition is so fierce that they're able to offer $0 / month just for the chance to get work experience. One of my friends is currently struggling to get a job working in CAD. It's so bad in that sector of the economy, jobs he's been tentatively offered have been taken away by people who called in after their interview saying they'll work for less than the advertised wage. It cannot be that surprising to think that a college undergrad with ZERO work experience would work for free when he has to compete against so many with years experience that they're willing to underbid him on price, on top of having a shinier resume to boot.
