Facebook interns are paid, and paid quite well. It is, in fact, illegal to not pay an intern in the state of California if the intern performs beneficial work.

It is, in fact, illegal to not pay an intern in the state of California if the intern performs beneficial work.
Your entire rant is predicated on untrue assumptions.
- grecy 9y agoWhy do I continually hear the term "unpaid intern". I believe there is more to the US than just California, right?

Because those things still exist, just not doing employer-sponsored g work in for-profit firms. > I believe there is more to the US than just California, right? Yes, and unpaid interns doing work that directly benefits the employer is a violation of rules under the Fair Labor Standards Act in the whole US, not just California.
