Women are consistently overrepresented in unpaid internships, data show
“Your past salary can be used as a benchmark for your future salary,” said Mary Gatta, the director of research and public policy at NACE. “If you were paid inequitably in previous jobs, you are then carrying that inequity forward.”
The problem with unpaid internships, though, is that they tend to lead to less secure job prospects than paid positions, both in terms of earning potential and career trajectory, data show. Paid interns were also more likely to receive a starting salary that was $20,000 higher than the median pay of those unpaid interns who were offered full-time roles. That helps explain why women tend to earn about $11,000 less than their male counterparts in their first year out of college.
While none of the paid interns remembered doing grunt work, such as fetching coffee or making copies, almost 5% of unpaid interns carried out such tasks at some point during their employment. Meanwhile, paid interns were guided by clear learning objectives in most cases, whereas only a quarter of unpaid interns remembered receiving such direction.
