As we gear up for a busy election season, Pollster and Huffington Post are hiring a new polling intern to help us out with gathering and entering polling data.
We're seeking a three-month unpaid intern to work in the Huffington Post office in Washington DC. Primary responsibilities will include:
- Entering polling data into our database and publishing tables and charts to Huffington Post/Pollster
- Entering and publishing poll update blog entries into our content management system
Strong attention to detail is a must. Experience using basic HTML, entering content into a CMS (especially Movable Type), and experience with statistical analysis including the R programming language are appreciated but not required.
If you're interested, please send a resume and brief statement of interest/availability to pollsterintern@huffingtonpost.com

You know, one of the Obama administrations new tax initiatives would outlaw non-paid internships (as a violation of the minimum wage laws). Better watch out.
Here's an article quotingthe NYT.

Bukama, the NYT article rather says that regulators are cracking down on internships violating *existing* Federal laws, rather than "outlawing" such activities. It does warrant caution, in any case.
NYT points to a handy guideline that includes 6 points determining whether or not the intern is, in fact, an employee under Federal law (page 8):
