These companies pay interns more than $8,000 a month

Some lucky interns can earn a pretty penny while learning their trade at some of America's best-known companies. As they battle it out for young talent, technology stalwarts Nvidia, Facebook and LinkedIn all offer interns median monthly pay of at least $8,000 a month, according to a new survey from job-search site Glassdoor.

Nvidia, a Silicon Valley maker of computer graphics cards and other gear, pays interns a median salary of $8,811 a month, putting it on top of Glassdoor's list of the highest-paying internships for 2021. Glassdoor researchers see the data as a bright spot in a labor market still healing from the devastating effects of the coronavirus pandemic. "There are still several employers paying their interns really competitive salaries — some even paying over $8,000 a month — and part of the reason they're willing to pay really high salaries is they face a lot of competition when it comes to hiring great talent," Amanda Stansell, an economic data scientist at Glassdoor, told CBS MoneyWatch. "Even in the midst of COVID-19, great talent is still great talent, and it's hard to come by."
