Walmart still pays its average associate in NY 80% more than The Nation will be paying its interns

...Consider it an economics lesson for the ideologues — some workers are more highly valued by their employers than others.

I don’t think its a good comparison. Interns at prestigious organizations are not paid very well, and often not at all, in order to keep the riff raff away. If you need the money, you need not apply. They are looking for trust fund babies who will bring their social and power connections, and the prospective interns are looking to get into a socially connected organization. The big bucks come later.

Walmart hires people who do real work and they pay the market rate. Its an entirely different world.
