This is Why It Makes Sense to Live Next to a Fed Money Spigot

I would classify all the companies on the list below as beneficiaries of Federal Reserve money printing.

Get a job at one of these companies during the boom phase of the Fed manipulated boom-bust business cycle and you are going to be surfing on a high wave of cash.

Incredibly, summer interns at these companies at the median get paid more than $4,500 a month, according to Glassdoor. That amount, if it was paid over the course of a full year, would be north of $54,000, exceeding the median annual pay for a U.S. worker, calculated from the Bureau of Labor Statistics' latest weekly earnings data for full-time wage and salary workers ($44,460).

Topping the list was Facebook, where the median pay for interns is $8,000 a month, according to the report. The next three were
Microsoft (which pays a median $7,100 a month), ExxonMobil ($6,507) and Salesforce ($6,450).


Of course, all bets are off  during the bust phase of the business cycle which could result in you driving for Uber real fast.

  1. Doesn't this data ignore geographic cost of living? $5,000 for an oil company, working in the Midwest is surely going further than $6,400 at Apple, in Silicon Valley.
