The downturn in the U.S. economy is being noted by tech employment agencies. According to the San Francisco Bay area's Bennett Warren of Remx Technology Group, contract workers and full-time job seekers are bringing in half of what they were demanding a year ago. Still, in many cases--especially where you might hire a contract worker or a temp--interns supply a more financially justifiable, nonjaded work force.
An intern can expect to earn any amount, from school credit to $20 an hour, depending on experience and education.
In the San Francisco Bay area, an entry-level IT temp worker--helpdesk, desktop support, tech writer--earns $15 to $30 an hour.
The average starting salary in New York for an IT entry-level position ranges from $45,000 to $55,000 per year.
