7/22/13, "Pressure mounts on Obama as he REFUSES to pay his interns (while campaigning to raise the minimum wage)," UK Daily Mail, Hayley Peterson
"As President Obama campaigns to
increase the minimum wage, his own interns aren't getting paid a cent to
work a minimum of 45 hours a week. White
House interns are expected to show up to work at least' Monday through
Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., according to the administration's
website. Housing and commuting assistance aren't provided either, so the
White House encourages applicants to petition nonprofits for help
funding their living expenses.
Just this summer alone, the White House 'hired' 147 interns, saving the
administration roughly half a million dollars if it had otherwise paid
each intern minimum wage for 45 hours of work per week. The internship
program, which lasts 11 weeks in the summer, runs year-round."...via Michael Savage
