President Obama on Thursday will unveil a summer-jobs initiative that the White House says is already on track to create 180,000 ?work opportunities? in the private sector in 2012.

That is the number of opportunities, which includes mentoring and unpaid internships, that companies have told the administration they are willing to create. Some 70,000 jobs are paid, the White House says.

The initiative was hatched after Congress failed to approve a $1.5 billion summer-jobs fund that President Obama had been seeking as part of the American Jobs Act. Read the original article at The Hill

There is no use removing doubts one by one. If we clear one doubt another doubt will arise and there will be no end of doubts. But, if by seeking the doubter, the doubter is found to be really non-existent, then all doubts will cease. -- Ramana Maharshi

If he could reduce it to 110,000, it would be a vast improvement.

He's pushing internship which is a great thing. Companies usually think of students when thinking of interns (Hell I do) but if this could be extended to others that would like to learn new skills for a new career then it could be good.

Besides what kind of delusional fantasy land are you living in? What the hell kind of experience do people need any more? If school doesn't guarantee you a job, why would you continue to "gain experience" on the free while having to pay back student loans AND afford a home to live in?

People go to school to gain the experience they need for their position. So either you're a shill or you're retarded and can only think about what's convenient for you.

I never said that I didn't pay my interns. I was just saying that if un-employeed people can get their foot in the door then it could be good. In fact my company does pay interns. It's against the law here to have someone work (intern or not) without paying them.
