A survey recently found that Facebook pays its interns $8,000 a month, more than any other American company. The survey was carried out by the website Glassdoor, on which people can post information about job experiences and pay. In second place was Microsoft, which pays its interns $7,100 a month. Oil company ExxonMobil came in third at $6,500. It was one of only a few non-technology companies to make the top 25 list. Amazon and Apple interns earn $6,400 a month, while Google pays $6,000, according to the survey. These internships pay much more than the average American earns. The government estimated the average U.S. pay in 2015 was about $4,000 a month. One thing that has changed over the years is that many companies now use the same methods for recruiting interns as for full-time employees.
