It seems like this problem is endemic to publishing; at least that's what makes the press most commonly. Is it a supply and demand problem (i.e. too many young workers), or is that industry just full of sadists who were poorly treated as young people and are exacting "revenge" on the undeserving? By comparison, in the auto industry, its common for engineering interns to get up to $15-20/hr, depending on how much schooling they've completed.
