Re: Intern Salaries
As far as i know they typically do not get any benefits that would be provided to a full time employee. Healthcare etc.

As far as health care goes there may also be some legal issues regarding needing to provide it for interns who are, in some companies, effectively full time employees on a 3 month fixed duration contract. Certainly, for large companies like Google, Facebook etc the incremental cost of adding a young (and most likely healthy) person for 3 months is going to be minimal compared to the perceived value of the benefit.

Re: Intern Salaries
My last employer hired summer interns, who were paid a good rate of pay. It was really a 12 week interview. I don't know if they were given health insurance, but if you're under 26 then you're likely to be on your parents' policy now anyway.

Around where I am, it seems most are unpaid, or if they are, it's expenses.

The former, definitely don't get paid here, the latter, aren't considered interns and do get paid.

Re: Intern Salaries
The guys who interned for me were there for experience, and I expected them to contribute as a result of the experience. It seems to me many people don't expect any contribution from the intern to the process of the company. Where you DO expect a contribution, you are honour bound to pay them.

Here, if they're getting school credit, they do not need to be paid and many are not.
The expectation is that if they are any good and do actual work, that they would be head of the line for a job interview once they graduate and apply for a full time position.
